Chickenlovers!Hi! I'm here because I got a fright this morning when i found 4 eggs from 3 hens! I can only assume that one of my girls layed twice! I have 2 australorpes and one Rhode Island red. The red usally lays larger eggs than the australorpes, so I usually get one large and two small eggs each day. As there was a third small egg, I'm guessing that this was from one of the australorpes. Very unexpected. I gather from this post that it's not all that unusual to have one girl lay twice in one morning? Cheers
I actually saw my RIR lay her second egg. She did not even realize in time that she was about to lay one or she was so excited to get the treats that she didn't want to bother. She laid an egg right in front of me while eating. She froze for a couple of minutes, pooped some watery thing and then shortly thereafter laid an egg. It was shell-less though:
Here is the picture of Tree-Trunks eggs.
1st one to top is her egg on Day 1 at 10:00 AM

The 3rd one (bottom) is her 2nd egg on Day 2 at 7:00 PM.
