Best Answer

A broiler chicken can lay eggs if it stays around long enough to reach maturity.

Modern methods can get broilers to harvesting weight in 4 - 8 weeks.

Of course, some of them are kept specifically to lay eggs and provide for the next generation.

They usually are slaughtered well before they are of age to lay their first egg. Egg production often starts by the 20th week and meat birds are usually of marketable weight sometime after the 16th week.
