120 eggs.
You can either cook the egg on a frying pan, or let the male fertilize it.
The egg, obviously. This is evident because early dinosaurs laid eggs, while MILLIONS of years later, a type of dinosaur evolved into the hen. There also will have been insects and reptiles a long time before the hen evolved, and those laid eggs also. I believe that this is solid proof that the egg came before the hen.
The eggs are fertilised inside the hen, and then laid.
No. Unless there has been a rooster to inseminate the hen, the eggs will not be fertile.
Hens undergo internal fertilization, where the male rooster transfers sperm to the hen during mating. The sperm then travels through the hen's reproductive tract to fertilize the eggs before they are laid. After fertilization, the eggs are coated with protective layers and shells before being laid by the hen. This process allows for the development of embryos within the eggs if they are incubated under the right conditions.

The egg came first as the female bird which laid it might not neccessarily have been a hen, the hen which hatched from the egg could have been the result of cross breeding.
Because the Hen who laid the egg didn't have sex (no abuse, just the answer to the question) with a Rooster before she laid the egg, so it was not fertilised
A hen can typically lay between 8 to 12 eggs in a single clutch, although some may lay more or fewer depending on the breed and individual factors. Once the eggs are laid, the hen will incubate them for about 21 days before they hatch into chicks. Therefore, a hen can generally have up to 12 baby chicks at a time, assuming all the eggs are fertilized and develop successfully.
