Not all chickens lay an egg everyday. But assuming you have a chicken that lays one egg per day, a chicken will eat approximately 2.5 ounces of feed per day. Calculate 12 days feed to produce 12 eggs and you have 30 ounces or 1.875 lbs of food to produce 12 eggs.

A chicken will lay better eggs if they think the day is how many hours long?

Chickens do not lay "better" eggs according to how much daylight there is - the only thing that changes egg quality are living conditions and the food the chickens eat. However, the more daylight there is, the more eggs a hen should lay.
