how many eggs can a chicken lay in 1 day?

Answer 1

Less than 1 every day, even in the "egg factory" environment.

Hens are taken from breeding farms when 18-20 weeks old and put into cages, usually with four other birds. Each hen can produce 300 eggs per year. This compares with only 12-20 eggs produced each year by their wild ancestors. Hens are so crowded that they are unable to move freely or flap their wings. After twelve months, the hens egg-laying ability starts to decline. Hens are then considered spent and so are slaughtered and used in baby foods, pet foods, soups, pies and other processed foods. The natural lifespan of a hen is about 5 or 6 years.

Answer 3

A hen lays one egg per day. A rooster lays none (grin). However, even a good layer hen will skip a day now and then, and they do not lay when they are moulting (sheddin gold feathers) or broody (wanting ot sit on eggs.) The average egg production is about 200 eggs per year the first year. After that it slacks off.
