A kiwi may have one or two chicks per breeding season.
Three weeks after mating, a female kiwi lays a single egg which is about 6 times the size of an egg from another bird of similar size. Just before the egg is laid, it makes up 15-20% of the kiwi's body weight, and takes up so much room that the female is unable to eat because there is no room in her stomach. Once the egg is laid, another egg may already be developing in the female, to be laid in another three weeks' time. On rare occasions, a female may lay a third egg.
