i believe that is deturmened by age and different things. normally i think it is 1 about every 18 hours so depending on their cycle and when they lay it should be 1-2 eggs in a day if i'm not mistakeing.

They probably also think a pig lays 8 hot dogs a day.

It takes 24 hours for a hen to completely cycle. Some hens 23 hours, but a general statement is 24 hours per day will result in approximately 1 egg. Each day, the cycle starts later and later. Eventually, the hen will "skip" a day. This "skip" is known as the end of a "clutch". The longer a hen lays, the larger her clutch will be.
