How many is enough?
Let me figure per person. If I want 2 eggs on Sunday and bake or cook using eggs using 2 more eggs 2 times a week I will need on average 6 eggs for myself per week.
A good hen will at her best give you 7 eggs a week until she slows down to zero in the fall and winter.
So while the egg machine is working 1 hen per person is usually enough.

∙ 13y agoAbout 3 to 4 square feet per hen is optimum for chicken coops when the hens have access to an outdoor scratch yard or are allowed to free range outside for all or most of the day.
However, if the hens stay solely in the chicken coop and don't have outdoor access, they need more like 10 square feet each to live comfortably.
For example, a 4' x 8' chicken coop has 32 square feet and can hold either eight chickens that are also allowed outdoors, or just 3 hens that are confined to the coop all day.

∙ 15y agoFor a hen to have baby chicks, you have to have a rooster to mate her with. Depending on the number of eggs that are fertilized by the rooster, and are layed on by the hen, and hatched in 21days, stipulates on how many chick a chicken has..

∙ 11y agoIt depends on the breed of hen that you have. Some, like the ISA brown or the Lohmann are genetically bred to lay around 250+ eggs per 12 months, but they tend to "wear out" and die after about 2 years. Each breed is different and you would need to look up specific information on each one.

∙ 13y agoThere is no set number, most hens will set as many eggs as can be comfortably covered when she sits on them. That means from 6 to 20 eggs depending on the size of the hen.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoA very unanswerable question. The only way to know is to count them.
If you mean how many chicks make a flock then any more than 3 would constitute a flock, albeit a small one.

How many eggs does a hen lay when she is sitting?
An individual hen will go"broody" and will gather a clutch of eggs to brood. These will not always be her own eggs. She will steal them from other hens by rolling them into the nest she has chosen. Unless the hen is broody she will lay her egg and leave the nest announcing loudly to the rest of the flock what she has accomplished. Hens can go broody whether there is a rooster in the flock or not, so no, not just fertile eggs trigger the brooding instinct.
