How many babies can hen have at a time?

A hen can typically lay between 8 to 12 eggs in a single clutch, although some may lay more or fewer depending on the breed and individual factors. Once the eggs are laid, the hen will incubate them for about 21 days before they hatch into chicks. Therefore, a hen can generally have up to 12 baby chicks at a time, assuming all the eggs are fertilized and develop successfully.
