Mattaz Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Im very puzzled because yesterday when i took out the eggs i found 4 eggs and i thought, oh i must have left one out from yesterday but today when i took out the eggs i got 4 eggs again! Im very confused because i only have 3 hens. Is it possible for chickens to lay 2 eggs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toots Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 just guessing but i suppose it must be! unless you have the opposite to a chicken of fate, the chicken of invisibility. come in, lay eggs get food but avoid cuddles! If my 4 knew it was possible to avoid cuddles i know they would all be invisible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimnpaula Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Well, I wonder whether one of mine is doing this too. For a couple of weeks we've had 5 to 6 eggs from 7 ex bats, then 2 days of 7 eggs. However, I'm sure Amethyst isn't laying though as she hasn't got a red face like the other girls. She won't come close enough to us to test the crouch response. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattaz Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 hmm. well it was only a couple of weeks a go i was getting only 1 or 2 eggs a day from them. Ill just have to wait and see if i get 4 eggs tommorow. And toots, one of my hens, rachel, started laying with quite a pale face so your Amethyst probably has started to lay.

Little Clucker Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 The same thing happened to me today Managed to get 4 eggs from 3 girlies including Dipper's first egg! Hmm now to think of who laid the extra egg :pulls out sherlock holmes hat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrensWorld Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 They're ISA Browns they fire out eggs like a machine gun. We often get six eggs from our four birds, and double yolks are common too. They tend to slow down a little in winter, but come the summer........
