- Today they produced 22 eggs. That's 22 eggs in 24 hours from 15 hens. They have done this often although my usual daily egg count is 14. So yes, they can and do produce more than one egg a day if they are well cared for. I typically get eight eggs per day in the winter.

- If a hen lays more than one egg per day, the second egg is only a membrane and has no shell. Actually, a second egg in one day will not necessarily be shell-less. Some commercial layers will occasionally lay one egg very early in the morning, and a second late in the afternoon. One of our Leghorns did this last year.ot true I have a hen that lays ab 2 everyday. I have three hens that lay 2-3 eggs per day.
