The only reason I read the article was to find out the answer!!!
HOW MANY EGGS CAN A CHICKEN LAY???
depends on the breed of chicken it can range from 80 to up to 300 eggs per year
American one piece ain't fucking around
Was he right tho?
Unlikely
Its 37! I keep telling you!
37, and if you keep saying other wise I got a hammer with me and I'm not afraid to use it!
That can't be right. Everyone knows 24 is the biggest number there is.
What!!!! No way! I mentioned my hammer right?....37! Thirty.....Se...veh....nnnn!
Why do you keep boarding up windows man? No storm is coming!
Its 37! A hen lays 37 eggs!
In a row?
Hey, try not to lay any eggs on the way through the parking lot!
I'd assumed so. I've never seen a hen laying eggs in a square pattern on purpose with an intent and or resolve. But I've also not bothered to follow a hen's daily reproductive activities. Not for a joke, or on purpose or with intent or resolve or specific admiration for a particular hen. I'm not weird.
I thought it was about 6 or 7
Oh my god! I said I got my hammer!
Two of the victims were arrested for resisting officers.
Typical Florida police state.
I'm beyond frustrated that the article doesn't mention either of their positions. Was he right?
I raised chickens for many years, and I was all ready to be able to weigh in on who was right. A darn shame they couldn't give us more details
Florida back at it again
Harper's Pub
All of the parties involved in the argument were said to have been drinking.
For God's sake, the British developed technology to deal with this some time back. The Guinness Book of World Records was originally designed to resolve disputes between bar patrons. Just put one in the bar instead of resolving them via homicide.

Most prolific chicken
White Leghorn (No. 2988)
United States
The highest authenticated rate of egg-laying is 371 in 364 days, laid by a White Leghorn (No. 2988) in an official test conducted by Prof. Harold V. Biellier ending on 29 August 1979 at the College of Agriculture, University of Missouri, USA.

Guinness World Records, known from its inception in 1955 until 1999 as The Guinness Book of Records and in previous United States editions as The Guinness Book of World Records, is a British reference book published annually, listing world records both of human achievements and the extremes of the natural world. Sir Hugh Beaver created the concept in order to settle arguments debated in pubs, and twin brothers Norris and Ross McWhirter co-founded the book in London in August 1955.[3]

Oooooh, them's fighting words!
The family's been at least partially London-based since Victorian times, and some of them hold British titles of nobility.
well the guy whose idea it was and the MD of Guinness was South African so it gets worse
I think you’ll find the British invention to solve this was deportation to America.
You got to fight for your beliefs.
"Two of the victims were arrested for resisting officers". MURICA!
whatever amount of eggs this guy says is the right number
It’s one or less a day. You can measure the flocks mood by the amount of eggs being laid a week. On weeks with poor sunlight or chilly weather we’d have less than usual.

I'm trying to start an argument, but the other guy over there says 371 in 364 is the record, which is more than 1 a day.
Is it always the same "Florida Man" or do they take turns?
There is only one Florida Man, though he exists in many places at once.
That's the joke, no? That they are obviously all different people, but we treat them as one person - with the superhero name Floridaman - who's responsible for all the weird shit.
Floridaman - who’s responsible for all the weird shit.
This is the worst movie in the Marvel universe...
Have you ever seen them in the same place at the same time?
We only hear about the Florida shenaningans because of a criminal transparency law unique to Florida.
The entire country is a freak show.
That Sunshine law just states public meeting records must be publicly available not that every criminal case needs to be made public (as an example just look at any one of the thousands of cases involving police brutality where details aren't released). This is just a myth that got repeated over and over on reddit for years to the point that everyone believes it.
This type of shit is explicitly unique to Florida.
That outfit is straight fire though.
Overalls are always sexy AF, the knee-high rolled cuffs show off the 'too cool to give a fuck' combo of socks and slippers, but the shirt's on the opposite side of the color wheel for maximum contrast, and the yellow hat adds to the cartoonishly cheerful look.
It's an outfit that screams both "look at me!" And "lol i dgaf". I would absolutely wear the hell out of that outfit. I wouldn't accesorize it with a handgun though.
From the grainy screenshot, he looks exactly like Farmer Fran from The Waterboy.
The beauty of handguns is that they go with anything.
I hear that lethal projectiles are very slimming.
That's a blurry picture but dear God are you telling me that man is 44 years old? Chicken farming really takes it out of you, huh?
It's the inbreeding. He's his own son.
I'd bet alcoholism is a stronger factor than the chicken rearing
No, the chicken farming is definitively the greatest common denominator here. In fact, all alcoholics are chicken farmers but not all chicken farmers are rectangles.
Two of the victims were arrested for resisting officers.
I’m not even surprised at this point.
Tom Sawyer is really into chickens.
