How many eggs can a chicken lay in a year?

The number of eggs produced by laying hens will be affected by many factors, including breed, feeding and management, nutrition, environmental conditions, etc. Generally speaking, chicken breeds specialized in laying eggs have higher egg-laying potential, but differences between individuals still exist. The following are some reference values for egg production:

Rhine layer hens (Rhode Island Red): A Rhine layer hen can lay about 200 to 300 eggs a year.

Kunming hen (White Leghorn): Kunming hen is one of the high-egg-producing breeds and can lay about 250 to 320 eggs a year.

Denver Chicken (Plymouth Rock): A Denver chicken can lay approximately 180 to 240 eggs a year.

It should be noted that these numbers are only reference values, and the actual number of eggs laid may vary due to individual differences and feeding conditions. Breeders can promote the egg production ability of laying hens by providing appropriate diet, feeding environment, and health management, and monitor the egg production status of the chicken flocks in real time.
