An excellent egg layer breed (White Leghorns or Rhode Island Reds) average laying 4 eggs in 5 days...Each chicken breed is a bit different, lay different sized eggs, different colors (from green to chocolate brown, to white) are hardy for heat or cold and such.Some chickens are bred more for meat, and aren't as tailored for egg production.Average egg production is probably closer to 4-5 eggs per week.I have had hens for almost 10 years now and given the proper conditions (good food and enough land) they lay an egg each day.Occaisionally they would skip a day for some reason, but mostly there was an egg from each hen every day.Hope that helps
