Can a chicken lay more than one egg a day?

I've been thinking about it, but I have chicks inside right now. Any other way to tell?

If your desperate enough you could watch them lay their eggs haha.

Hmmm, I'll think I'll separate her!

I've gotten two mutant eggs from the same hen in two days - apparently she's been double laying, but they are fusing before she lays them, so she's laying mega eggs. 79 and 81 grams each from a hen whose normal egg size is 57-60 grams. OUCH!!!

During the last 48 hours I have gotten 13 eggs from 6 hens all hard shelled perfect eggs and my birds seem happy can laying this much make them sick?

I know your all going to think I'm crazy!!! My poor chickens were attacked the night before last by a raccoon. My silkies were both beat up,but are doing much better. My ONLY EE (Charlotte) didnt lay yesterday, but I figured she was in shock. Well this afternoon we found 3 blue eggs on the rocks. The girls lay there eggs in the nesting boxes, never on the rocks. Has anyone ever gotten 3 eggs in one day. Is that healthy for her? 2 out of the 3 were perfect the 3rd was broken (not soft). How the heck did she do this!!!

Today Charlotte layed another egg. That's 4 eggs in two days! Can anyone tell me how this is possible?

hello,
after reading everyone's post i figured i'd give my two cents.
I have an Aracauna who has over reactive ovaries which bloat her abdomen and I have to have her drained every once in a while. Because of this she lays two eggs a day, a regular hard shell egg in the morning/afternoon, and a soft shell egg in the evening....
she is one of my slowest hens and it's probably because she lays so many eggs.

I have a 5 month old silkie laying 2 a day

did not know that was possible. I sure hope this does not wear her out too fast. She is my favorite.

She's just getting into the laying aspec. It should stop.
