spring, summer, and early fall. only in the warm seasons, never in the winter.
Eggs are laid all year long including the middle of winter. Eggs are laid according to the light available and not based on the season. When seasonal light is reduced then a light can be placed in the chicken coop to ensure daily egg production. We eat eggs in Canada 12 months of the year.
Both the previous answers are correct. Chickens lay eggs based on the hours of sunlight they are exposed to. If there is no intervention, this means they can lay an egg a day in the summer, but fewer in spring and fall, and very few or none in winter. This has been my experience with our chickens.
The eggs that you buy in the store all year long are produced by exposing the chickens to a light that replicates the sunlight effect. This keeps the rate of production at summer levels all year long.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on where you live, and the breed of chicken, but generally spring is the most productive time. Some hens are getting ready to brood chicks (which is actually going to stop their laying if they succeed), and the weather is more agreeable than at other times of the year. In more topical locations, winter may bring higher egg production, if the weather is mild. Summer may be too hot in most places, and egg production will slow.

How many eggs will sixty hens lay in four weeks?
You want your hens are to the age of laying eggs (which is about 6 months), and your hens are under the age of three years (because when they reach this age, they are past their prime, and lay less eggs). Expect from your hens that every day 80% of the number of hens will be your number of eggs. So with this math, if you have 60 hens that are all in their prime, you can expect to get about 1344 eggs in four weeks.
