They are like birds, when a rooster mates with them they lay a couple of eggs and try to hatch them out. They will be laying for 6-7 days of lots of eggs and then they won't until a rooster breeds with them.

∙ 11y agoA healthy hen that lives in good conditions will lay up to one egg a day mostly. If they stop laying you may notice they are loosing feathers, relax they are simply multing. Loosing old feathers to make room for new ones. They will eventually start again. When there wattle and comb become bright red is a sign they are laying or they are close to it.
