Some chickens will lay up to one egg a day, others will lay two eggs a week. It depends on the breed of chicken and how well they are taken care of. If you have seven chickens you will normally get about 5 eggs a day. One day you might get eight eggs but you should average 5 eggs a day with normal laying hens. During the winter they will molt and stop laying eggs unless you keep light on them.
The absolute maximum number of eggs a hen can lay in a 24 hour period is : ONE
Egg producers would pay millions for a breed that could produce more than one egg in 24 hours, their money is safe, there are no breeds capable of laying more than one egg per day.
One egg per day, maximum. No breed of chicken will lay more than one egg in a single 24 hour period. Some chickens will lay one or two per week. Other breeds will lay a single egg every day. Egg producers would love to develop a breed of chicken that would lay every twelve hours but so far that has not happened.
Even shaving a few hours off an ovulation cycle for egg layers would boost egg profits by millions, you can be sure the breeders are looking.
A mother hen will turn her eggs on an average of three times a day. This helps to prevent the chick from sticking to the inside membrane of the egg.
