A hen will normally lay one egg most days. If it is a commercial layer, bred specially for egg laying, it can give you up to 300 eggs per year. Other breeds of hen tend to give somewhat less - maybe 200 to 250 per year, they normally have a rest over the darkest winter months.

What causes the chicken eggs to hatch on the same day?

The hen will lay an egg each day in it's nest. The eggs are fertile, but the hen isn't setting on the nest yet, so the chicks don't start to grow. When the hen decides to set on the eggs, she stops laying eggs, and just stays on the ones in her nest. The warmth and moisture from her body start the chicks growing. It takes around 21 days until the eggs hatch.
