   ocr: DID YOU KNOW? Some birds never lay more than a set number of eggs, even if some are removed. Others will lay to restore their clutch. Farmers take away a chicken's eggs to encourage it to keep laying. A hen's clutch contains five or SIX eggs, but if her eggs are removed she will lay daily replacements. Another type ofbird, the northern flicker, IS known to have laid71 eggs in 73 - days, although her usual clutch IS only six eggs.
