1 Female chickens are called pullets for their first year or until they begin to lay eggs. 2  For most breeds, around 20 weeks is a typical age for the first egg. 3  Some breeds lay eggs daily, some every other day, some once or twice a week. Most hens will lay eggs in the same nest box as flockmates, so itâs not necessary to have a nest box for each hen. 2  Some hens like to lay their eggs in private and others will join their sisters in the nest box. 3  Often two or three hens will crowd into one box while another nest box remains empty.
