How many eggs do hens lay in 1 day?

One per day

Some hens lay only one egg every other day. As few as 80 pear year, as much as 300+ per year.

Twice in the last year I had 16 hens lay 17 eggs in one day. I could never tell who laid the extra egg, but if she laid the first egg at the break of dawn, and then laid the other before going to roost at night, when I gathered the eggs after "tucking them in" there were 17.

Approximately one per day, depending on the breed and age. Some breeds, such as the Aseel, will only lay one or two eggs each week. As hens get older, they start to lay less often, but lay bigger eggs.

Four hens have the potential to lay four eggs but this is not always the case. Old hens will eventually stop laying eggs, sick hens may not lay any eggs and hens even in prime condition may be molting or may just be a slow laying breed.
