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.

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.

∙ 12y agoOne 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.
