Under optimum conditions; good nutrition, ideal day length (12 to14hrs.), adequate housing and good management practices, most layers should begin egg production at about 20-26 weeks of age.

Ovulation occurs every 24-26 hours in good egg producers.

The chicken usually lays the egg about 24 hours after ovulation.

Will a chicken keep setting if she is not setting on any eggs?

Yes, a broody hen will sit in an empty nest, but not for long. The longest I've seen is one week with no eggs under her. Normally a chicken's egg will take 3 weeks to incubate. I have placed turkey, duck and goose eggs under chicken hens, and they will sit for those 28 required days and then take on another batch immediately for another month of sitting.
