I have two banty hens sitting on a pile of eggs together side by side, but there are too many eggs under them to keep warm at once. Every day as more eggs are laid by other hens they scoop those in the pile and sit on those as well. I thought i would mark 6 eggs with stickers and call it good. That way every morning I can go get the fresh eggs and know which ones are fresh. Will the hens take offence to the stickers on the eggs? Are there any better ways to mark them?
i had the same problem a while back. the ideal situation would be to prevent the other hens from laying eggs into the nests. however, if you can't do that, u could resort to using a pencil or crayon. just make a clear mark on each egg. the hens will not be bothered by the marks. make sure to check the nests when the hens leave to feed, taking out the freshly laid eggs.

How many eggs should a inactive teenager on diet eat a day/week at the max?
I love eating eggs...I can eat like a dozen eggs a day eaily. The best part, the egg yolk!
However, I am quite inactive, though I am trying to start being active. I am also seriously overweight and my BMI is around 28 now. Therefore, I am trying to increase my activity and diet at the same time.
How many eggs should I limit myself to?
Eggs is a good source of protein. Protein is needed by the body for energy.
However, you say that you are inactive, so having at least 2 eggs per week is enough.
If you are on a diet, it's okay for you to eat eggs because what you should avoid is too much carbohydrates.
But if you really love eating eggs, try working up those muscles. Eggs is used as a diet of body builders you know.

How long do eggs last in the fridge?
My mom gets me brown fresh eggs from a person she works with,and i tell ya they make the eggs at the grocery store look like Robin eggs,cause these are hudge,but how long do they last,i'm assuming longer than supermarket eggs cause they're brand new.
Fresh eggs bought directly from the producer are normally only a few days old. Ones from the store can be 3 weeks old by the time we buy them. As a result, the fresh eggs will last longer once we get them home. Store eggs should be good in the fridge for 2 or 3 weeks, provided they haven't been subjected to extreme temperature changes. Fresh eggs a good couple weeks longer.

How do I know when my freshwater angelfish eggs are going to hatch?
I have two angelfish in a freshwater tank that laid eggs. How soon after the eggs are laid do they hatch? And if you don't know when they were laid, what are some signs? Do the eggs get bigger? Most of the eggs are clear, but there are some white ones too. What does that mean?
A couple of days. You can see the little embryo turn into a teeny fish like thing. White ones have fungus and are dead. If they were laid in a normal tank, they probably are all going to get fungus and die before they start swimming. You need to put the mating pair in a clean tank, alone, with no gravel, plants, etc and a sloping piece of glass, that they will lay the eggs on. Once they are laid, you might need to put in a dilute solution of methylene blue to prevent fungus, and take out the parents. Then you are going to have to feed them infusoria, or superfine food; right after they start swimming they are too small to eat even newly hatched brine shrimp.

What is or are the difference(s) to female eggs in her reproductive system and the eggs that birds lay?
I understand we're mammals and all but I was studying some biology on the internet and I noticed that females and birds produce eggs.
So, I began to wonder if there are any differences to either creature's eggs. Also, why call them eggs? And would we therefore have any likeliness to birds since we come from eggs as well?
Our eggs are soft and grow inside the body while birds eggs are laid after fertilization and the embryo grows outside the body. Yes we do have a likeness to birds but most every other animal reproduces like this (almost every other vertebrate).
