One a day or one every other day

More infoThe actual time it takes for a hen to make an egg and lay it is 24 to 26 hours. Then the hen rests about 30 minutes or so before starting to make another one. In addition to resting about 1/2 hour each time an egg is laid, some hens rest about every 3 to 5 days and others rest about every 10 days. Some hens hardly rest at all. The resting times increase the total time to lay an egg.

All that said with the various resting times a hen lays about 5 eggs a week.

Or to make it a little easier:5x52 (weeks) = about 260 eggs a year how much hay does a chicken lay

It all depends on the type of chicken. The hybrids that are bred to lay can lay one a day- averaging perhaps 25 a month. Other types, such as silkies, lay 4 or so a week. It also depends on the age of the bird- an older hen will slow down and lay the occasional egg- and may stop altogether before she dies of old age.

Brahmas are good layers. You can expect three to five eggs per week from a well nourished and healthy bird of this breed. On average expect about 200 eggs per year when you take the molt into account. Brahmas tend to stop egg production completely when molting.

I have really enjoyed raising buff orpingtons, they are really a quality chicken. They will lay an egg almost every day, if not every other.
