A chicken lays one egg 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 260 eggs a year.
It depends on the type of chicken.
If you have a chicken that is meant for eggs (leghorn, etc) then about 1 per day.
Meat chickens will lay about 2-3 per week.

∙ 12y agoOnly one. Double eggs rarely if ever happen. Double yolks happen regularly but two eggs from a single hen in under 24 hours would be reason for breeders and egg producers to get excited. It takes about 24 hours for a hen to produce a single egg.
