Typically, you can expect that a hen will lay 2/3 of an egg a day for 2/3 of the year. That's 2 eggs every 3 days for 8 months; or, around 150 eggs per year. Some breeds have been developed that lay up to 200-225 a year.

Did the hen come first or hen's egg?

The egg, obviously. This is evident because early dinosaurs laid eggs, while MILLIONS of years later, a type of dinosaur evolved into the hen.
