4 Eggs

[blue pied]

i was away for the weekend there. i came home and had a pair sitting about 12/13 days but when i checked the nest there was 4 eggs in the nest. i thought at first someone was at the wind up but anyone have any thoughts?

 

any chance of her laying again while sitting?

Occasionally hens lay in a neighbour's nest. Could this have happened?

It won't be a problem though. Just rear the first 2 which hatch and disregard the remaining eggs.
