A good healthy layer should start laying about age 5/6 months and continue to lay past it's 2nd year. Production often slows after the hen reaches about two years old but they can still lay a few times a week up to 3 years old. After that you will be running a retirement home for chickens unless you use them as brood hens which they will continue to do for many years.
Hens sit on their eggs for around 21 days. Some eggs will hatch on the 21st day and some on the 22nd day.
Hens typically begin to lay eggs between 4 and 6 months old. If there is extreme heat, they may decide to wait until the Spring to lay their first eggs. Then they will lay eggs almost daily.
A hen will sit on the nest for about 18 to 21 days This is called brooding.

Hens do not get "pregnant" They produce an egg every 24 hours approximately. That egg may or may not be fertile depending on if the hen has been mated with a rooster in the previous 7 days. The hen will produce the egg with or without the roosters involvement.

Fertilized or unfertilized, eggs form in a chicken (hen) over a period of about 25 hours, most of the time being spent in the lower part of the ovary called the Shell Gland (comparable to a mammalian uterus).
When a hen lays a fertilized egg, there is no embryo inside. Embryo's only start to form once they are incubated.
A hen is older than an egg. *A hen comes from an egg. Either a hen or an egg can be older than one another.
It depends on how long after the first egg she laid the second but the second egg should hatch within 24 hours of the first.
