Most hens start to lay eggs at about 6 to 8 months old. The first few eggs are usually not well formed or very small. After that they will lay according to the breed, either daily or every second day under the right conditions and with good feed. Laying MASH available at all feed stores will ensure the right amount of protein and calcium.
The hen will continue to lay for years but quantity will decrease at about the third year.
I have a hen still offering one egg per week at age 7. With good care most breeds will live up to 8 or 10 years old and there have been hens live to 15 years old.
