it's best to post pictures here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this for best results. The only way to see how many eggs are being laid & in a place you can find them is to confine the chickens to a coop/run. Otherwise, it will be hard to find all the eggs every day. Chickens that are laying eggs need to be fed a special feed called layer crumble or layer pellets. Young chickens that aren't laying should be fed chick starter. https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center this link will take you to the Learning Center which covers everything you need to know starting off regarding feeding, housing, etc. Good luck.
