My hen is laying 3 eggs a day?!?

You can always crate her and see if it is indeed her.

OMG - she'd hate that. She is the leader and when she can't see or be by the other two she squaks really loud. But it may come to that to get to the bottom of this mystery.

i think if you put her in a crate or mess with her much at all she will stop laying

Though I don't think for a minute that it is possible, I'd really like some offspring if it proved to be real!

After a couple days she would get comfartable again.


You could also just section her off.

How about crating the other hens instead? Or sectioning them off, so they can still see each other, just can't access the same nest boxes? See what happens then.

Lol. Okay. I'll keep everybody posted on what I find out.

you always dd a squirt of food coloring in her vent. I have never don't this but know people who have. Then they know which hen lays which egg...

Three eggs a day that is really a lot for such a little body...

I have heard of people saying one of their birds laid two in a day but never three. The most I ever got was double yokers. Tis a mystery.

Maybe some kind of a camera. I bought a camera system with a DVR. I can put a camera out in the coop and watch on my computer or TV. My 19 birds are banded. They each have a different colored band on one of their legs as they are all one breed. My first system was a single camera. My newer one has four cameras. All record at once. you can watch all cameras on one screen or you can view each cameras video and capture any part to a picture (jpeg/jpg/png).
