ONE. Yeah, the world record number of eggs laid by an individual hen in a single 24 hour period is one. If anyone could come up with a breed of hen that could do better they would be very very rich. It takes 24 hours for an egg to form within the oviduct of a chicken. From the time the ovary drops an ovum and it travels through the chickens system forming yolk, albumen and shell, at least 24 hours have passed. Breeders have been working to increase the egg production rate of chickens for many years and so far, no-one has come up with a chicken that can do better than one egg per day (24 hours).

What is record for hard boiled eggs eaten in 1hour?

I am not sure of the record for most eggs eaten in 1 hour, but the following link describes Sonya Thomas as the world record holder for competitive eating for hard-boiled eggs. http://www.ifoce.com/records.php She ate an amazing 65 eggs in under 7 minutes. However, her stomach capacity is only around 17-18 pounds, and thus 65 is likely to not be the record for one hour given that other eaters have stomach capacities of 20 pounds or more.
