egg production??

[Dixiedoodle]

I have looked everywhere for the answer to this--can't seem to find the answers..

I know that there are several stages of eggs in the hen--BUT

How long does it take for the egg--from being formed to being layed??

I hope that you understand my question...Dixie

Infundibulum: _ hour
Magnum: 2-3 hours
Isthmus: 1 _ hour
Uterus: 20-26 hours
Vagina: just a few minutes
