Can hens lay two eggs a day?

Answer 1

One of my young hens just started laying and she's laying two eggs a day, every other day. I've witnessed it, so I'm certain. The eggs are still small because she just started laying a week ago. I expect her to level off to one egg at a time, probably 5 times a week at peak. She is an americauna.

So, yes. A hen CAN lay two eggs in one day. However, I'm pretty sure it's rare.
