How many eggs should I expect from 5 Rhode Island Red Hens in 1 week?

They aren't fully developed yet, and I am just wondering how many eggs I will be getting in a few weeks. I have looked around the web, and not have gotten very good answers.

at first not to many because they have to get their egg size right and then they will get their egg laying right at first the egg will be really small (pullet egg they are called) and it really depends on the hens their self because someone can have the same breed of chicken but they can lay all differently .. i hope i helped a little

Depends entirely upon the breeding. Most hatcheries sell high production red birds as RIR. These are quite capable of laying 5 or 6 eggs, per week, during their pullet year.

Thank you. That clears up a lot of questions I had.
