Chicken Breed Laying Rate

The frequency that chickens lay eggs all depends on the breed. Some will only lay one per week, while other breeds like the Rhode Island Red have been known to lay one egg per day! 

Regardless of the frequency of egg laying, chickens need certain conditions to improve their rate of lay. Temperatures between 45 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit are ideal. Light is also a factor, and most hens will stop laying in the winter because there simply isn’t enough light in the day during the winter months.
