13 week chicken laid 2 eggs in one day??!

[Jessthebest]

So I have a hen that I've raised from a week old, and it's been about 12 weeks since then. I originally thought she was a rooster, it's my first time owning chickens. Until yesterday when I couldn't find her, and then did locate her sitting on not one but two eggs. How?! She's an Isa Brown if that helps.

Are you sure she laid them? Thats really young. Do you have other chickens with her?

I do have four other chickens with her, all who are a week younger though and should be laying blue eggs I believe.

It's common for a chicken to lay today's egg in the same spot as yesterday's egg, and then sit on both for a bit. So the two eggs might not have been laid on the same day.

She is certainly young to be laying eggs, but I agree it's more likely that she laid the eggs rather than the even younger ones laying!

Hers two were brown! And roughly half the size of a store bought large egg but perfectly hard

Hmmm my silkie just laid her first egg at 5 months old but hasn't laid since has she laid anymore?
