How long does a hen ''rest'' before her body starts making another one egg?

Answer 1

A hen mates with a male and create a sperm which causes the hen to lay an egg. This process might take about 1-2 months.

A hen does NOT need a male to lay eggs.... A hen is born with all the eggs she will ever lay. She only needs the male to fertilize the egg or eggs. When they mate they do not create the sperm. The male carries it already, he deposits it.

Answer 2

Most hens reach sexual maturity at 17-18 weeks of age, which is when they begin to lay eggs. An average hen will produce 250-330 eggs a year.

In most commercial systems, hens are culled at 68-72 weeks of age - as egg production slows at this time. However, hens can usually produce eggs after this time (especially if moulted).

Answer 3

A chicken may take from about 5 minutes to an hour to lay her egg. She will lay an egg a day at approximately the same time. It takes about 20 hours for an egg to be made inside her body. That's why she is limited to one egg per day.

Answer 4

It takes about 24 hours for a hens to make an egg and after she has started to lay them them regularly she with lay 1 egg a day.

Answer 5

Roughly twenty-five hours, but they do take a break sometimes (it may not be that you get an egg EVERY twenty-five hours)

Answer 6

15 days
