can one hen lay more than one egg a day?

[gmendoza]

I have only 2 coturnix hens and a roo right now.Most of the time they lay one egg per day.When the summer was starting,they did lay 2 each per day,but this is rare.Remember: an egg is a birds menstrual cycle,to put it bluntly so one egg per day.

The roo...no eggs per day.....oh well,I guess I cant bring him on Letterman.

Every morning and evening when I open or shut the coop, I check for eggs. Yesterday morning when I opened the coop, there were no eggs. When I closed the coop last night, there were three eggs. Now I only have three Cochins in this coop, and one of them is a rooster. So, ruling out the rooster, that means I got three eggs from two hens in a roughly twelve hour period. Two eggs were brown, and one was white (and smaller than the brown ones). The larger of the two hens has not laid since raising a batch of chicks, so my guess is that the two brown eggs are hers, and her first new egg may have been blocked and subsequently pushed out by the second. That's my only explanation, short of a magic fairy hen that sneaks into my coop to lay eggs.
