First, will a hen lay different size eggs? One of my NHRs laid, what I would call, a jumbo egg compared to what she's been laying.
Second, can a hen lay more than 1 egg in 24 hours? Same pair of NHRs. I gather eggs everyday around 5pm. Last night, 1 out of the pair. This morning, when I fed, both had laid an egg. So this evening when I gathered...3 eggs out of 2 hens. I have read that they average an egg every 25 hours. So, theoretically, one could have laid after I gathered last night and then laid another this afternoon. Anyway, it was a shock to open the nest box and see three eggs from two hens!
