First and for most are the chickens female. Males/roosters do not lay eggs that is what a female/hen is for.
Secondly, the hens have to be old enough. At least 5 months old. I would not start worrying until they get closer to 1 year old. Different breeds start to mature at different ages.
If everything above is right then you have to look at everything else. Do the hens have enough space, feed, light, and water. Sometimes adding things to the normal feed helps, like adding some type of greens even if is lawn clippings. Plenty of feed and water is a must. When a chicken is in molt (loses feathers) it may take a few weeks before they start laying again. They will lay on the ground but many hens tend to prefer nest boxes, which can be made many diff. ways and out of diff. material.
This is just a little bit of information and not very easy to just type out. You just have to trail and error.
Yes they ALL reproduce by laying eggs.
Chickens do not give birth to live chicks; they lay eggs that then, if fertilized, hatch 21 days after laying.
All birds lay eggs.
Animals laying eggs can be dangerous because they will protect there future babies at all cost. Animals laying eggs can be dangerous because they will protect there future babies at all cost.
The actual formation of the egg inside the chicken takes about 24 hours, but when they sit down to lay the egg it can take anywhere from 15 minutes to a couple of hours.
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.
yes they do die after laying eggs. she stopps eating a tending to herself to care for her eggs then she dies after they all hatch.
Multiple EGGS are layed but not all survive.
The eggs die.
Yes, it can lay various eggs but not all survive
no but they do have to lay them in a safe and dry spot so it keeps at a normal temp, they will protect the eggs and each other
All insects are hatched from eggs. The only method by which insects reproduce is by laying eggs.
