Cinnamon Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 It happened to me once when my lovely White Star laid 2 perfect large eggs in one day,one early am & one late pm. I knew it was her because all my other hens lay brown eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 We've had 5 eggs from 2 chickens in one day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 yup - the day Siggy started laying, I was very puzzled to find THREE eggs in the nesting box, and then later one on the roosting bars! I reckon one of these was laid the previous day, but she definitely laid two to start with - never happened since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperman Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 We have six chooks but only one, 'splodge' lays, she is top hen in the pecking order she lays multi-coloured eggs we get two brown ones, one white one and one creamy off white one, she even lays a krypton factor challenge egg in the run under the Cube to keep us entertained. The other five just seem to mill about and don't do much! Every time I look in the nesting box it's poor Splodge leading by example, She only laid two yesterday we let her off cos she must be tired! It's tough at the top. Kev, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I HAVE TWO CHICKENS Fairy and Cake. Today they laid 3 eggs? does this happen in anyone elses chicken experience? Yep! I have eight hens and have had 9 eggs in one day on two occasions. Mystifying as the egg laying cycle is supposed to be around 26 hours.

The Rivetts Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 We have had odd occasions of 2 normal eggs in one day from one of our girls - Betty. However, we quite often get one softy and then one with a thin shell from her - as though she has only so much shell each day, and if she makes two eggs, they are going to be deficient in shell. I don't bother too much any more. Anything with a shell is great, without is just a bit of a shame, but no matter what, I love to see them waddling around the garden with their lovely shiny feathers and fluffy bots!
