Florida man opens fire during argument over how many eggs a chicken can lay: police

18. Depends on the breed and health/environment of the chicken.

Our neighbor's "free range backyard chickens " tended to lay one egg at a time, but depending on the weather and I guess how stressed the chicken is, it could be twice daily or as as long as two weeks apart.
It could be a bit of an Easter egg hunt looking for random eggs if the hen didn't feel like brooding in the hutch. Some even ended up in our backyard; the chickens liked to hang out in the Mulberry tree next to the property line between us and them, and often ended up in our backyard.
(Free medium sized brown eggs, if we could keep our dog at the time from snarfing them down when we let her out in the backyard for "business" )
