do they contain less cholesterol, Maybe. It is argued that Araucana chicken eggs contain less cholesterol.
do you think that a hen house needs a rooster, No, not for egg production.
do you know the body temperature of a chicken, Chicken body temperature normally runs about 102 degrees Fahrenheit. A chicken heart beats 280-315 beats per minute.
which breed of chickens lay the most eggs, Leghorns, the world record (1979) was set by a white Leghorn who laid 371 eggs in 364 days. In 1925 chickens laid an average of 100 eggs in a year.
which breed of chickens lay blue eggs, The Ameraucana and Araucana, from South America. They are beautiful but most roosters are mean.

what is a pullet egg, It's the first group of eggs laid by a young chicken. Bakers prefer to use these eggs because they are very fresh. Large eggs are stored for months before they are delivered to the grocery store. Pullet eggs are not stored.
what is a capon, A young, male chicken that has been neutered, a relatively simple procedure because a chicken is easily hypnotized and their high body temperature prevents them from getting infections. A caponized chicken grows to be very large and fat.
how many eggs does a chicken lay in a year, Around 250, but depends on the breed. Their most prolific laying time is in early Spring. The time when chickens are thinking about hiding their eggs and sitting on their clutch of eggs.
And most importantly, do they taste better? Every egg tastes different. Free Range chicken eggs are different from commercial eggs. Commercially raised chickens are fed a prepared meal and sometimes marigold flower petals are added to make the egg yolk darker. You are what you eat. Right?
