Since I got 3 eggs today. I know Natalie our BA is laying, have caught her in the act. I suspect that Olivia, one of our BO's is laying, since she is doing the "squat" Audrey(BO) has just started to squat. Mae has very little comb and wattle. Yet she is the largest of the 3 BO's And then there is Vivian, our black Cochin. From what I gather she would be among the last to lay because of her breed. So, until I catch someone else laying I guess I wont know for sure. Unless someone(Natalie) is giving me two eggs every other day? Do I have three that are laying? They are all the same age. Well Natalie is a week younger than the BO's
Yep if you got 3 eggs in one day and didn't miss one the day before you have 3 hens laying. It takes 25 hours to make an egg so it would be very difficult to get 2 from one hen in a day.
When I was little, we had a golden comet hen run into our yard. We named her Goldie and kept her for a few days in our plastic 4x5 playhouse. The next morning, she layed about 4 eggs in 20 minutes!! Anything is possible, Fresh Eggs
If they are new layers their little systems may be sending out early eggs I suppose. But even then I'd think only two in a day maybe. My uneducated guess is that you have three layers. Enjoy
