Egg layers (4)

I believe the answer is:

hens

'egg layers' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for hens that I've seen before include "Female birds" , "Adult chickens" , "Female chickens" , "Poultry" , "Birds kept for laying" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the Universal, the USA Today, the LA Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
