    Varied sized eggs or multiple synchronized layers?

    I've been getting a duck egg every day except twice for about 3 weeks, and 1 day there were 2 eggs! (Perhaps I could have missed one and then found it.) I've gotten duck eggs from 53g to 105g during this time. First egg was 72g. Smaller eggs have been gathered after larger eggs and vice versa...

    So I currently have a Rouen Hen who has been laying an egg a day in her nest and forming the nest each day and it looks like she might be sitting at night. She just laid 12 eggs but I haven't noticed her sitting on them. How do I know if she's going to hatch them herself or if I need to...

    About these eggs...

    I have a Rouen and a Crested that I got in February, and a Pekin I got in April. Yesterday, I found one egg, and today I found two more (pictures in order of appearance).
