Still waiting on my EE to start laying, but glad that one of my Speckled Sussex starting laying again after molting!

My EE is 31 weeks 4 days and still no egg. Just give her time. I have read on here that later layers will be healthier layers. Less issues. so look at it as a good thing.

Okay SO now I am wondering, What color egg did Sneaky lay?   My EE is now 31.5 weeks and still no eggs yet.
