If you want your chickens to lay bigger eggs, well just play Motorhead in the chicken coop.

According to the Plymouth Herald, a British farmer says her chickens lay eggs twice as big when she plays Motorhead for them.

In addition to raising chickens, Anne-Marie Bradshaw also studies animal behavior, and she doesn't just play them Motorhead.  They listen to a variety of artists and styles, including classical and Mariah Carey.

But she says, "They seem fascinated by it all, [But] a bit of 'Ace of Spades' is probably their favorite."

Anne-Marie says music reduces stress in animals, and with chickens, that leads to larger eggs.

She says, "I go to see them every day and I just really enjoy having a sing and talking to them, I always take the radio down with me and sing along with that to them."
