The female lays eggs 24-36 hours after her first blood meal. Fleas lay up to 50 eggs a day, which is equal to their body weight. They can lay this many eggs because they suck up 15 times their body weight in blood daily. This blood lust can continue for 3 months.

A typical hen will start to lay eggs at about 6 months of age. The eggs will start out small, then get increasingly larger.

Then they will start again in the early spring. You can encourage egg laying through the colder months by keeping a light on, inside the chicken coop.

No because some of the lice are male and some female lice will be unfertilized meaning they won't lay any eggs. When parents find large adult lice, they always think they're in for a battle.
