Well.. if you put it by itself for a few days and you find eggs in the area.. then it laying.
Yes if a chicken is in molt then the chicken will stop laying eggs. But after a week of so it will start to lay again. You can tell which chicken has stoped laying because their comb (Top thing on their head) Will be a dull pink instead of a Red.
No - the chickens do not start laying chicken nuggets after their egg laying days are over.
your chicken doesn't want to probably
There is no mammal that lays chickens. Even chickens do not lay chickens: they lay eggs. there are two types of egg-laying mammals (not chicken-laying), and they are the platypus and the echidna.
Chickens do not give birth. Chicken reproduce by laying eggs, which are hatched in about 21 days after they are laid. A chicken is called a laying chicken when it is grown for the purpose of laying eggs, as opposed to a frying or eating chicken, which is raised for food.
There is no way to stop a chicken from laying eggs; It's nature's way.
The hen lays the egg. The term "hen" refers to a female chicken, and it is the female that is responsible for laying eggs.
No. UPDATE: Yes, in way you can actually tell, because roosters don't lay eggs and therefore don't sit on nests. So when your chicken starts laying eggs, you know its a "girl" (girl chicken= a chicken or hen, boy chicken = a rooster or cock) Roosters also crow and their combs and tail are most of the time (depends on the breed) bigger.

if you only have bacon for your breakfast then you know your chickens are not laying anymore
Not necessarily. Unhealthy hens might still lay, but their combs will be paler.
