WHY hen lays egg every 26 days?

Anyone knows why my pij lays egg very fast? So far, my Piggy lays eggs every 25-26 days after the 2nd egg is laid. She has laid 4 sets now for 4 months. I swap the eggs with dummy eggs after 4-5 days after laying and take them out 2 days after the hen gets bored and leaves the eggs on the nest, usually after 21 days since the 2nd egg was laid. Can someone tell me if this is normal?

It's about the same schedule my Pigeons are on so I think it's normal. The exception would be if they hatched chicks, then they would build a new nest about 10 days after the first two hatched.
Welcome home. Nice to have you back.

Thanks again Charis.

While I was away, my boyfriend once reported to me that he had been mauled by two pigeons!

Bank has always been naughty and a teaser. I think he knows that's my teapot he is perching on. (I wrapped it with facetowel to keep it warm). Every time I have tea, he comes near to me and perch on to it - is it because it's warm (??). Anyways, I tell him " that's my teapot, get lost!". He replies as usual " Grrrrk, grrrk, grrk".

Cute, cute picture. Yes...I'd say he likes the warmth of the teapot. Next, he'll be drinking your tea.

Charis, I guess everyone else are still asleep.... We're the only ones making noise here.......

OH- wellsky!

Make him a little cup of chamomile tea, and maybe he'll let you have yours. :That\\\'s so f

Then Bank and I say " CHEERS" when we drink our tea


Oki doc, got to go back to work....standing by.......

That's a good idea.
