2 Eggs in 1 Day!

[EggSighted4Life]

I just wonder how do two eggs fit in the uterus(shelling gland) at the same time....
.....without one of them being odd or marred or soft or....??

They probably weren't in the same area at the same time.

I wonder that too. Chickens are just a big wonder! Like that box of Chocolates-you just never know what your going to get. These were pullets and eggs were small, maybe that had something to do with it in mine's cases. But I don't know that.

Then where? Must be 'downstream'?

I'll have to watch this video again, see if I can see where that 'extra' shelled could be while the other spends ~20 hours getting shelled.

A chicken's egg cycle is every 25-26 hours. Rarely, could this time period can be lesser. The world record for egg laying is an Australorp hen who laid 367 eggs in 365 days. So 2 days that year, she laid twice. Mind that this is the world record; this hen was a very, very special hen, and I'm surprised that she had no health effects from this ability.

While many people claim to have hens who will lay more than once a day, what's almost always happening is they have a hen with an odd laying cycle; laying after dark, laying very very early, etc. Or they are simply missing the eggs the first time gathering.
99% of claims by people on the Internet about 2 eggs in 1 day are either honest mistakes or outright tall tales. It's just not how chicken physiology works.

Oh wonderful Video! Loved it. Just makes more questions like you said though, where were these other eggs at getting their shells and NOT be all squished together.
Thanks for sharing that video. I plan on watching it a few more times.

I checked under the roosts and in the nest box Sunday morning and there was no egg. I came back 2-3 hours later and Bianca had laid 2 eggs under the roosts. As I said before I have the only keys to my coop and I ate her first and only egg at that point on Saturday night.

We aren't so much doubting your word as wondering how exactly can that happen physically.

Oh.
On Saturday she was nesting in the bedding in the henhouse but she didn’t lay. Is it possible that she could have held the first egg in while the second egg was being formed?

She also laid a single egg today and seems to be acting like her normal self.

Is also possible one of your other hens has started to lay, and as you know when they see an egg in the nest they too may lay one there, just a thought?

It just doesn't seem like there's room for 2 shelled eggs in there:
