I have 4 chickens, an EE, australorp, a silkie, and a barred rock. My australorp just started laying 5 days ago, and so far she layed everyday. My silkie is too young to lay, and my EE lays green eggs every other day (she started laying 4 days ago).
My Barred Rock is where my concern is. She started doing the 'chicken squat' the same time all of my other girls did, and was born on the same day (march 1st), but NO EGGS. Last night, at 0215 I checked the coop to see all my girls pirched up on their perch sleeping. But, as I look under turbulence, I see two soft shelled eggs! When I put the girls away that evening at about 8:30PM, there where no eggs in the nest nor in the padding under their perch. Earlier that afternoon, black betty already gave me an egg, which had a very healthy shell (as for every egg she layed), so the only girl this could have came from was turbulence.
Is it possible for a chicken to lay two eggs?
Then just right now when I checked on her, she was nesting in the nest box. So I sat outside the coop for about 30 mins, and I heard and 'egg song'!! As she proudly walked out of the nest to join the other birds, I opened the nest box to find nothing! :0
I hope my chicken is OK
