No, the maximum is one day because the minimum time it takes for a hen to create an egg is 14 hours.

If two hens lay two eggs in two days how many eggs will ten hens lay in ten days?

Chickens lay one egg every 28 hours (on average), so to get an average of two eggs per day you would need two hens. However, if you want to be assured of at least two eggs a day, you should probably have three hens. Also, when hens go through a molt and swap out their feathers, they stop laying eggs until their feathers have grown back in.

How many baby chicks can be hatched at one time from one hen?

They can have from 1 chick to 15 chicks in a brood.A hen goes broody, which means she wants babies and will collect / sit on eggs. The eggs MUST be fertilized by the rooster to have baby chickens. The hen will sit on the eggs for average 21 days. During those days, the heat of her body heats the eggs, allowing the embryo to form. Right before hatching, the embryo will suck the yolk into it's belly, so that when it is born it doesn't have to eat for up to 2 days.The chick hatches, and the mother hen takes care of it.

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

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.
