It depends on the chicken. Some will sit and then gradually get more and more eggs. Chickens in all don't have a "limit" of eggs they will sit. Often a hen will go broody without sitting on any eggs. Some hens have sat on twenty eggs but it can be hard for them. Sometimes one egg. But on average and for an average chicken, it would be around a dozen.
