The best layer breeds are Amberlink or Hy-line. These will start laying within two weeks of being bought (20 to 21 weeks of age). Pullet eggs are small at first, but they gradually increase in size. The number of eggs laid peaks halfway through the year and then starts dropping.
How many eggs does a chicken lay per day South Africa?
one egg
A hen can lay only one egg in a day and will have some days when it does not lay an egg at all. The reasons for this laying schedule relate to the hen reproductive system.
A hen’s body begins forming an egg shortly after the previous egg is laid, and it takes 26 hours for an egg to form fully.
