Chickens Lay Bigger Eggs When They Listen to Motorhead
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."
