Can you add eggs to a setting hen when the first eggs have been under her for 10 days?
You should not do this. The eggs that are already there will hatch much sooner, the hen will continue to set on them but the older chicks will bully the late one's and often kill them unless you separate them. Eggs only take 21 days to hatch so if your hen has been on the nest continually for 10 days you are too late to add eggs.

If a hen and a half lay an egg and a half in a day and a half how many eggs can one hen lay in three days?
The answer is 2 eggs. Solution #1: Let's get some whole numbers. If we double the number of chickens, we get twice the production. So, 3 hens lay 3 eggs in 1.5 days. If we double the days, we double the production again. So, 3 hens lay 6 eggs in 3 days. Now, divide by 3 to get one hen's production: 2 eggs. Solution #2: To get eggs per hen per day: 1.5 eggs / 1.5 hens / 1.5 days. 1.5 / 1.5 = 1; 1 / 1.5 = 2/3. Now, multiply by 3 days: 2/3 x 3 = 2 eggs.
