How many eggs will a hen lay before she sits on them to hatch? (Rhode Island Red)

This is a good question for the incubating and hatching eggs thread; maybe somone there has already asked and answered.

Depends on the breed, a bird such as the RIR is not as likely to go broody as a silkie, cochin, etc.
