It depends upon the breed of the hen.

Egg production depends upon hours of light, and commercial layers are given supplementary lighting to ensure peak production. One egg is laid approximately every 26 - 28 hours. The bird will generally have a laying cycle of 3 days, with the egg being laid at a later hour each day, then have a day off,

The record number of eggs supposedly laid by one female in 365 days was 361 but this is not verified.

Modern Hybrid hens can lay between 250 - 320 eggs per year depending on the variety and assuming they are housed and have supplementary lighting and winter warmth.
