2 eggs a day. Help

[polishchick22]

I’m new to the chicken world. I have 2 black polish and have had them since they were tiny chicks. I wasn’t sure on gender until one started laying last week. Through discussions on this website, I discovered the other is a young rooster and my hens eggs are fertile. The last few days, she has been laying two eggs a day. It’s conceding to me because I have read that it isn’t normal or healthy for her. Im starting to worry and wondering what I can do?

How old are they? Are you sure your second is a rooster? It's not entirely unusual for new layers to lay 2 a day until things smooth out. There's nothing you can do.

I would say they’re somewhere around 20 weeks. Here’s a pic of both. One looks dyed a little on top due to blu-kote.

Those both look like hens to me Are you sure your eggs are fertilized?

 

[polishchick22]

Someone had replied and said this was fertile. What do you think?

 

[My2butterflies]

That does look fertilized Do you have other poultry?

 

[polishchick22]

No. They are the only 2.

How strange. I must be wrong about both being hens. I’m newer to polish chickens, but my one rooster I had looked drastically different from the hens. Crazy rocker head feathers, shinny saddle feathers, ect.

Sure looks to be a "bullseye" & I agree, they both look to be females.
Are they confined or roam? If confined, is there a roof? No other chickens around?

Confined. There isn’t any other chickens around us.
