RIR (Rhode Island Red) hens lay an egg daily. They could even produce eggs in the hard winters if they're well kept.
Four hens have the potential to lay four eggs but this is not always the case.

How many eggs do hens lay in 1 day? One per day Some hens lay only one egg every other day. As few as 80 pear year, as much as 300+ per year. Twice in the last year I had 16 hens lay 17 eggs in one day. I could never tell who laid the extra egg, but if she laid the first egg at the break of dawn, and then laid the other before going to roost at night, when I gathered the eggs after "tucking them in" there were 17.
