Farmer Doug sells his newly laid eggs to a local grocer.

If the farmer has 5 hens laying 6 eggs per day, 9 hens laying 4 eggs per day, and 10 hens laying 2 eggs per day, how many eggs would he have after 14 days ...

... if 3 of the 4-per-day hens were eaten by 2 foxes after 5 days, and 4 of the 6-per-day hens ran away after 4 days, but 3 of them were caught by the farmer's wife after 2 days, and 8 of the 2-per-day hens stopped laying after 3 days but started again after 1 day, and 3 of the 6-per-day hens produced 2 extra eggs per day for 4 of the 14 days, and 1 extra eggs per day for 7 of the 14 days, with 4 new 2-per-day hens added after 6 days to replace the 3 4-per-day hens that were eaten by the 2 foxes?

None, cos he's sold them all....
If you draw up a "Day Planner" for all the hens and add up all the eggs laid each day you'll get a total of 1093 (I think!)

What a magnificent effort DonKiddick with logic and planning. I never get the same answer twice so until someone disagrees 1093 it is.
