Used a couple of US recipes recently and most of the ingredients are in cups, or spoons, not by weight. This is a nightmare to convert. Do Americans not own scales or something? What’s the reason for measuring everything by volume?

    Off topic:

    I have learned that hens were laying eggs, chicken were the offspring.

    Is this a british-american thing or just a common mistake?

      Chicks are baby chickens. All hens and roosters are chickens. Does that answer your question?
