They will lay in winter if you have a light if not when it is above 60 degrees out most days.
Female chickens (hens) generally start laying eggs at around 20-24 weeks of age. Some breeds take longer. They don't need a rooster to lay eggs and if you are lucky they will lay an egg per day. Again this depends on the breed, with some chickens laying an egg every few days. They lay less over winter, when they are moulting or when they are stressed.

Most chickens are between 5-6 months old before they start laying eggs and will lay eggs for about two years. Some chickens will start laying at 4.5 months, but this is rare and probably due to hormones in their feed.
Chickens don't require laying mash to lay. The feed suppliers just formulated a feed that is balanced nutritionally to support laying birds.
Chickens only lay eggs. Baby chickens (chicks) hatch from those eggs and grow up. If the eggs are not fertilized, however, then they will not hatch. Those are the ones that are eaten.
2 chickens laying 2 eggs in 2 days means that each chicken lays an egg every other day. 4 chickens laying an egg every other day would lay 8 eggs in 4 days.
