The average chicken will require about 16 hours of daylight, with 8 hours of darkness. With these conditions, a chicken is able to lay eggs continuously.

The secret is hidden inside a chicken's Pineal Gland, when they receive more light as daylight is lengthened, the gland will secrete hormones telling her ovaries to begin producing eggs.
