The best breeds of hen lay once per 24 hour period, many breeds take more time to lay each egg and some breeds only lay one or two eggs per week. The answer you seek would very much depend on the breed of chicken you refer to.
It depends on the breed of the chicken. If it's bigger or smaller they might eat more or anything. They all are different like women having twins or sextuplets it is very different and not one chicken is the same at all
It depends on the breed of chicken. I do know that some of the best egg layers are the Barred Rocks and RIR
According to the US Poultry & Egg Association an average hen will lay 259 eggs per year. This depends on the breed and the care the hen receive.
it depends on the breedof hen. egg laying can range from 100 eggs a year to 350 eggs a year.

No hen is be able to lay 365 eggs per year. 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
