Small clutch

Post by atarasi » Tue Nov 11, 2008 12:41 am

I know they say that when a hen is older, she won't produce very many eggs per clutch. I have a Gouldian hen that's about 4 years old. She's been laying clutches of 2 eggs. Is that low? I'm guessing it's up to the individual bird.
I acquired her several months ago and I don't know what was normal for her when she was younger.
