A chicken can lay anywhere between 5 and 12 eggs in one setting. (numbers can vary, but this is about the average).

Also, if you have other laying chickens in the same nesting boxes, it is not uncommon for the laying chicken to steal eggs from the other chickens. So dont be suprised to find more than the average amount of eggs.

We've come home to find a chicken laying on 18 fertilized eggs before. of course, these included the stolen eggs too!
