Just wanted to find out the normal timing between the hen laying the eggs.
one of my hens has 2 eggs at the moment and she layed the first one on the 27/9 and then the second on the next day,she hasnt layed another one since .will she have more?? or is that her clutch for the year.
My other hen has layed one egg on the 29th or 30th/9 not sure coz i only noticed it on tuesday but it could have been there on the moday i didnt check hers.

Ringnecks normally lay every 2 to 3 days - and clutches can be from 3 to 8 eggs, with 4 being the average number of eggs.
cheers,
Mike

My canary hen normally lays every 2nd day.......but she seems to be a laying machine.
My alex girl seems to lay about every 3 or 4 days and my eclectus girl is about the same about 3 or 4 days apart.
Strange thing with Shrekie my alex girl is she definetly layed her eggs about 4 days apart and they hatched about 1 week after I expected and they were within 4 days (as in one on one day the second the next the third the next and the 4th 2 days later (the first didn't survive though) so Shrekie obviously didn't start to sit until she had layed all her eggs.
