One a day or one every other day

More infoThe actual time it takes for a hen to make an egg and lay it is 24 to 26 hours. Then the hen rests about 30 minutes or so before starting to make another one. In addition to resting about 1/2 hour each time an egg is laid, some hens rest about every 3 to 5 days and others rest about every 10 days. Some hens hardly rest at all. The resting times increase the total time to lay an egg.

All that said with the various resting times a hen lays about 5 eggs a week.

Or to make it a little easier:5x52 (weeks) = about 260 eggs a year how much hay does a chicken lay
