Just so, how do you collect eggs with a hopper?
Place a chest on the ground underneath the central hole. Place a hopper on top of the chest (to do this you must sneak (hold down SHIFT) whilst placing the hopper, otherwise you will just open the chest). Now fill up your farm with chickens, by throwing eggs or luring them in with seeds.
Subsequently, question is, can chickens lay eggs on hoppers? Yes. Chickens will lay eggs regardless of the block they are on.

How do you start a egg farm?
To provide eggs for your family, start off small by keeping about 12 layer hens, and then start your own small business. You can grow as your resources grow and you gain experience. For the chickens to lay more eggs they need about 16 hours of light. About 12 layer hens will lay at least nine to 10 eggs a day.
