    Alin, do you receive this empirically on your chicken farm?

    Here is the "theoretical deduction approach" for those who do not own such farm:

    3 chickens lay 3 eggs in 3 days
    so, assuming that they all participate, the egg laying speed for 1 chicken is:
    1 egg in 3 days
    making it 2 eggs in 6 days

    and if you have 6 chickens, then 6 x 2 = 12 eggs
