A good laying hen has the potential of producing as many as 500 to 600 progeny over its egg laying lifetime. This is not likely however as not all eggs are fertile and hens are not that prolific.
Certain breeds are raised for their egg laying capacity but usually by hatcheries who remove the eggs daily and incubate those eggs for the sale of chicks.

How old does a baby chicken need to be to leave its mum?
Many chicks never know their mother. Most chicks are artificially incubated and are raised in a brooder with other chicks their own age. Chicks hatched by a broody hen in the chicken coop often stay with "mom" until they are full grown at the age of 6 to 8 months old and will often stay with "mom" all their lives. This is basically just for companionship as the mother hen does not feed her chicks, they are born knowing how and what to eat.
