Tessa the Duchess Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I have three chickens, they lay three eggs every day Today I found 4 eggs in the nesting box I'm thinking I've got a chicken ghost hanging around Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Sometimes their egg-laying tackle gets out of synch and a hen will lay two eggs in one day. It happens more with hybrids than pure breeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 When Ginger Spice started laying, she laid two eggs a day on three separate days during the first week. Then (thankfully) she had a rest for a few days and she has settled down to a one egg a day routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
