Depending on the species, owls may lay from one to a dozen eggs or more, and complete their hatching before laying more.
The Common Barn Owl lays from 3 to 12 eggs, but usually 4 or 5.
The Great Horned Owl lays from 1 to 5, the usual being 2.
The Snowy Owl lays one egg daily, but between 5 and 14 in all.
Northern Spotted Owls have been observed to uniformly lay either 2 eggs or 3 eggs.

∙ 14y agoThat depends on how many it lays, and that mostly depends on the weather and where precisely it is as southern birds will breed for longer than northern ones. Realistic maximum - probably 12 - 3 clutches.

∙ 11y agoUnlike other oviparous organisms, female birds can lay only one egg per day because they have only a single ovary (very different from reptiles or mammals) and the eggs - heavy with a calcareous shell - must come separately down the oviduct. The right ovary is present only in immature birds and a few very primitive species like galliforms. Eggs remain in the small oviduct for twenty hours in most cases.
Birds can be divides into:
- determinate layers, who lay only up to their normal clutch size and cannot lay any more eggs
- indeterminate layers, who will lay more eggs if some or all of their clutch is removed (e.g. by a human)
Determinate layers typically cannot produce more developing follicles than they actually lay eggs. They include almost all seabirds, most Charadriiformes except gulls, all pigeons, and most passerines (with the exception of some Passeroidea). There are a number of other determinate layers in precocial taxa like ducks.
Indeterminate layers, such as raptors and wading birds (herons, storks, ibises) will relay as soon as their eggs are removed.
