    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    Ugh! I still have one not laying (at 27 weeks). Everybody else started 22-24. I also lost 1 of my 4 over the weekend to a predator, so production is down anyway. 3 layers keep us in enough eggs for our use and got us to give some to family every couple of weeks. I guess we will add a couple more...

    Oh, mine free range and come back every night. I meant for egg laying. I want to make sure they lay in the best box.

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    Do any of you free range? I'm afraid my girls will go under my she'd or in the woods somewhere I wouldn't think to look. I've been keeping them in the coop longer every day recently, hoping that would encourage them. It does appear that someone has been checking out the nesting boxes because...

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    I've got 18 week old RIRs (production). One of them has a larger and redder comb and waddles, so she may be close.
