Princess Lay-a, that's who.
How many eggs does a chicken lay in it's lifetime? I wondered the same thing. At Answers.com, it said that the amount was dependent on the breed of hen. "There are breeds that only lay 12 to 24 eggs per year, times that by and average life span of 5 years and you have only 60 to 120 for an average lifetime. And there are breeds that are egg laying machines putting out 300 the first year, 200 the second and about 120 a year for the next 3 years, averaging about 800 for a 5 year lifespan."
