Total, not each, silly.
Still doesn't add up - 1 egg per day x 3 hens = 21 eggs per week unless I'm missing something.
With 2 of the 3 laying 2 eggs each per day. Yikes!!! Them birds are machines!.

I've got 6 red golden in the incubator and 4 in the pen with the hen. Should I let her hatch those 4 or put them in the incubator? Can you stagger the RG eggs like that?

I collect pheasant eggs for 7 days,then put them in the bator,,cuts down on staggered hatches somewhat,,and it's early,,take her eggs this time,and another time,then maybe let her sit on a clutch.Last year from start to finish,.my ornamentals laid for 6 weeks,,averaging about 5 eggs a week for each hen,,this spring tho they seem to be on strike because of the weather.We need 70 degree plus days,,continously anytime now I think,to get them in the mood,,there is a frost warning here tonight,,so I know they have to be confused some.
