    Can one chicken lay 2 eggs in one day, as it's first eggs ever?

    I could swear that once or twice I've noticed that there were too many eggs for the day so I guess it's possible...the first time though, ouch, rough start!

    Are/were you surprised??

    I'm a city raised girl living in the country now...always collected chicken figurines, now I collect the real thing! I'm at home on Disability and could spend the whole day watching my chickens and guineas. They are so relaxing...quite humorous...and their social order is so fascinating...

    We currently have two pearl guineas...20+ weeks old. The guinea hen we've had since she was 3 weeks and the male is more recent addition. They hang out with our 1 EE rooster, 2 OP hens and 1 barred rock hen. All the others are 25+ weeks...all pretty young. They eat together, sleep...
