How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

I got 8 eggs this morning! However, none of them were from this morning. I was cleaning the chicken barn and pulled a bag of shavings out of the mobile coop and that is when I saw not 1 but 2 stashes of eggs that were laid under that coop. There was a total of 7 eggs under there. They were all cracked as they had frozen and then thawed back out. The good news is that 1 of the eggs was blue! That means that one of the ameraucanas has started laying!
The 8th egg was inside the mobile coop. That means it had been there about 2 weeks, as that is when I had closed and locked the door. It was the only egg that wasn't cracked. The dog got 2 eggs on her dog food and the other 5 I scrambled and fed to the chickens. I got a total of 58 eggs in the month of Feb. Now to see how many eggs they lay today.

How do you suspect she laid two in one day???? The cycle for egg development is 24 hours. Did you actually OBSERVE this rare phenomena? If so I would suggest watching her as she may have skipped the day before as one was stuck and todays developing perhaps helped it along. Or more of your hens laid than you thought.
I only have two Leghorns, I got three white eggs that day. At first I thought maybe I missed an egg the day before, but then I thought about it, and I got two white eggs the day before. I don't know how, but it happened!
