How many eggs can a hen lay per day?

Typically, a breed that lays every day takes about 23 hours to turn around to lay an additional egg. There are rare occassions that a chicken can lay more frequently and most often the second egg is USUALLY smaller or will have no yoke. Other breeds can take much longer between each egg. The ones who seem to lay more frequently tend to be the ones bred for production like the leghorns and the sex links. Laying these eggs more frequently helps to burn them out much faster than heritage breeds.
 
This is my first yr for chicken I have 5 ee and the eggs are different colors fromm one day to another they are getting lighter in color the bigger they get is it the food they eat or is it the bigger egg .
 
Hi, I have 12 hen and an Easter Egger rooster. Today I got 13 eggs from 12 hens. I have Plymouth Rock and Road Island Red hens. I have no idea which chicken laid 2 eggs, but my eggs are so good. Much better than grocery store kind.

Chances are your rooster layed an egg, LOL.

Kidding aside, new layers sometimes will lay couple of eggs sporadically till they get to the sync of laying. It could occasionally happen to an older hen after a molt also.
