Before laying an egg, a hen will become restless and look for a nest. She will poke her head into the nest boxes and resume other behaviors, such as eating and sleeping. Once she has laid a clutch of eggs, she will sit on them full time, only leaving for food and water.
Hens lay their first egg around 18 weeks of age and then lay an egg almost daily thereafter. In their first year, you can expect up to 250 eggs from high-producing, well-fed backyard chickens.
To increase egg production, you can try:
Keeping the chicken coop around 40-90 degrees F
Keeping the coop clean
Being vigilant against parasites
Letting your chickens free-range
Adding more light
Feeding them a balanced diet
Supplementing calcium
