Hi all. I have 5 pullets, 3 SLW and 2 EE. All hatched April 20th of this year. I have, for sure, two that are laying, one of the SLW and one EE. My SLW did not lay yesterday but then I found 2 eggs in her nest box today. I know she did not lay yesterday because I cleaned out all the boxes. My question is, could she have laid 2 eggs in about 15 hours? That seems like a lot. Both eggs in question had yolks and looked the same size. Or did another SLW start laying? Everyone that is not laying seems ready, big combs, squatting, all of it. I just want to know because I keep all the shells from the first eggs and label them with who laid it. (Corny, I know!) The egg in question is on the left in the picture. Thanks!

Thanks all! I just poke a small hole in each end with a needle and blow out the insides. Then I label the eggs with who laid it and when. They are just in a display basket on my kitchen counter.

I would have to vote 2 different ones on this. due to coloring on same day.
Yes, they can lay 2 eggs in a day. I have had it happen. Hen was locked up by herself so no others were with her. laid two. another hen also locked up by herself so I could see what color she was laying, went 3-4 days with no egg. checked at 5 PM no egg, next day at noon, there were 3 eggs in her nest.:eek:I was hoping for blue or green.

The eggs look like they come from 3 different hens. If you are really sure just one hen laid those. Put a little food coloring or lip stick just in the vent of just that one bird. That will let you know for certain.
 
Ok everyone. Now I have another question! Can a pullet lay 3 eggs a day or is this other green/blue egg from my other EE? Exact same color as the other egg but in a different nesting box. Egg in question is the green/blue one on the left. I know I have 3 layers but I thought only one EE was laying now
