Chickens lay one egg every 28 hours (on average), so to get an average of two eggs per day you would need two hens. However, if you want to be assured of at least two eggs a day, you should probably have three hens.
Also, when hens go through a molt and swap out their feathers, they stop laying eggs until their feathers have grown back in.
