It can be any age...its a bit obvious
Yes, with or without the peacock, the hen will lay eggs at about 2 years old. Early summer is usually the time they start and they can lay as many as 30 if they are collected for incubation.

She needs to be at least 16-20 weeks old.
It depends on how old the hen is.
Some breeds can start that young yes. First eggs of a pullet that age are often malformed and "test" eggs as the oviduct is just starting to produce.
Chickens will start to lay at about 4 to 6 month old. They reach peak production at about 18 months and production drops from there until they are about 3 years old. This is very general and varies with different breeds. I have a hen still producing at 4 years old.
o ton they lay about 260 eggs a day. Most chickens lay about one egg per day. After the chicken gets around one year old they start to produce less eggs. Chickens do not produce eggs every day. A good hen will produce 320 to 340 per yesr.
They start to break down (mentally); they like do things that you wouldn't expect from a hen. They just flat-out change.
Hens will start allowing the rooster to mount at about 6 months old or so. Some pullets do not accept the roosters advances until later but eventually she will. Once your hen starts to lay eggs the rooster will be interested.
Point of lay refers to poultry which are old enough to start producing eggs.
Yes. reproduction is still carried out the old fashioned way, the mating of a hen with a rooster. Without the roosters involvement, the hen will still lay eggs but they will not be fertile.
