Egg Laying. It usually takes 10 to 14 days for the first egg to be laid after a pair of pigeons have mated, and another few days for the next egg to be laid. Do not be alarmed if your hen lays only one egg, this is completely normal in very young or older hens.
That equates to 8 eggs per 10 days or 300 per year at the peak of production. Chickens also have an innate instinct to reproduce and for that purpose they will go on a laying spree of one egg per day for up to 12 days in order to form a clutch for incubation. No more is layed for that purpose because after about 10 days the eggs must start to be incubated to prevent spoilage.
