Description
In this image, hundreds of hens can be seen milling about in the Corning Egg Farm’s laying house. The laying house, while a more expensive option than outdoor living, is a safer place for hen to lay their eggs, protecting the hens from predators and the weather, ensuring healthier hens, and making diets more manageable, reducing mortality to eighteen percent a year.
