How many eggs does a chicken lay?

Answer by  Roland27 (16334)

It depends on the chicken. No one could give you a number and it would be accurate. Chickens don't lay eggs until they're at least six months old. When they do they don't lay a lot at first. Maybe 2 or 3 a week. When they're older they will lay one a day. After they get old they stop laying.

This depends on how long the chicken lives, if its egg-laying is regular, and if it s allowed to raise any chicks. You need more information to figure this out.

Answer by  sacredlrose (169)

A hen can lay about 900 eggs in its lifetime. A hen can lay one egg a day from the time that it becomes sexually mature. This can be as much as thirty times its body weight in eggs. That is rather a large amount of eggs for one chicken to lay.
