There are many factors as to how many eggs a hen will lay. * How old the hen is (The younger, the more she will lay) * What breed is the hen? (Certain breeds lay MUCH more than others) * What time of year is it? * The amount of actual day time (the three last are VERY important factors! the more sunlight, the more eggs. The better the weather/season, the more eggs. The most eggs are laid in the summertime.) * What is in her diet? (The better diet she has, the more eggs her body can produce.) Those are the highpoints, as well as what will affect them most.
