the hopefulls Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 We're very very happy today is our 1st 2 egg day from our girls, but we only saw 1 of the girls coming out of the eglu, so my question today is . . . . . Can 1 chicken lay 2 eggs or do you think our girls took it in turns and laid 1 each? Either way we're so proud of our amazing chickens.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Congratulations - well done those girls . It's not unheard of for one hen to lay 2 eggs in a day - one very early and one later on. My Maisie has twice done this in the last 10 days although the second one was shell-less both times . She's not laid the day after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve. Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Wilma did this, at 9am, then at noon. She layed the next day (but not the preceding day). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Maisie has twice done this in the last 10 days although the second one was shell-less both times . She's not laid the day after. We got 2 softies on Sunday (the first with a yolk, the second like a small soft ball with no sign of a yolk), nothing on Monday then a much larger (hard shell) one yesterday. Was your next egg larger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Just checked the weights (I know, I'm very sad ). She seems to have laid a bigger than average egg, then a softie either the same day or the next (twice in a week). Don't know if there's any rhyme or reason to it .
