tomatoes lettuce cucumber with the mash and corn but all the other
ducks and chickens havent got the runs. also some times i get two eggs
some days just one i have two chickens so im not sure if the both eggs
are coming from the one chicken and the other one still is not laying.

How old are they ?
Are they on fresh ground all the time?
When were they last wormed?
If they have not been wormed this year, are on a limited range and more than
a year old then they are likely toall have a worm burden. It may be that the
one hen is less fit than the others so she is showing more effect of this
than others.
Despite old wives tales chickens cannot lay two eggs in a 24 hour period so
both are still laying
Simplify the diet for a period with a wormer. All layers ration would be
best.

Hi Lisa
Flubenvet is the poultry wormer here and is a Prescription Only Medicine so
you have to go to your vet
