Actually, it's quiet interesting. Birds lay eggs. Chickens are indeed birds. But chickens lay eggs not only for reproduction but as a hormonal process, remotely like that of a woman. A hen will lay eggs just as good without influence of a rooster. This is actually better because the eggs won't have a bloody yolk.
Light of any kind will induce continuous egg production. Chickens need 14 hours of light to stimulate egg laying and a combination of natural daylight and artificial lighting will suffice. Free range hens get plenty during the summer months but in the other three seasons of the year, natural daylight is lacking and they must have light in the chicken coop. You do not need special bulbs, regular incandescent lighting of at least 60 watts will be sufficient.
Since chickens do not nourish themselves through photosynthesis, sunlight is not a necessity for their survival. Light, however, as it does in all animals, plays some role in their biological clocks, telling them when they should be asleep and when they should be awake.
Chickens need light to lay eggs due to the light stimulates the gland in their eyes to stimulate more egg laying.
Chickens need at least 14 hours of light to lay, but they can have more, to produce their maximum egg production.
Because it is how they reproduce.
Chickens will lay more eggs when it is warm and sunny. You can put a light where the nests are to innfluence the chickens to lay more eggs.

Yes All chickens will lay eggs without the need for a rooster. All a rooster does is fetilize the eggs, it does not induce the hen to lay an egg, she will do this anyway.

Not at all. Chickens do not need to mate to lay eggs, but they must mate in order for these eggs to be fertile, i.e. able to hatch into chicks.

Yes. That's why we put lights in the coop during winter because there are less hours in the day. Chickens need at least 17 hours of light to lay eggs normally.

The only chickens I have ever heard of that lay green eggs are Americana/Araucana.
What came first the chicken or the egg, this anwser will show you the truth Kony out
The females from all breeds of chickens lay eggs. Some hens stop laying when they are old, but there are no breeds or varieties of chickens in which the females do not lay eggs. Roosters, as the male of the species, never lay eggs.
