2 eggs a day?

[milogirly]

I have a one year old EE who has laid 2 eggs a day 3 or 4 times in the last 2 weeks. I know for sure this is happening because there are never any eggs left in my coop at night. When I go to collect them the next day, there have been 2 green ones (she is my only EE). She started laying last August and took a hiatus from Oct to the end of March. I'm just curious if anyone else has experienced this and whether or not I should be worried. She is super healthy and is probably the most active of all my hens.

I would guess that she could lay 2 eggs in one day, but would probably did not lay one the day before or will not lay one the next day. How many eggs a week are you getting from her?

If I understand things right, it takes 20 hrs to make the shell, so technically you could get 2 eggs in 24 hrs if one was laid in the beginning of the 24 hrs then one 20 hrs later.

So far this week, I have gotten 5 from her.

What might be happening is that she is laying right at 26 hrs, which could give you the impression of 2 a day in the right circumstances

My Rhode Island Red Hei Hei does the same thing, she is over a year old closer to being two. She lays every day ever since she started laying. Some days I get two eggs as well
