Long is putting it mildly. They take FOREVER to lay, and it will drive you crazy! I think my first one started laying at 34 weeks. Nice size on the eggs though.

Beautiful eggs. Congrats, that is so neat! I ordered a Barnevelder, Welsummer, and Black Copper Marans. They are set to arrive in April. I can't wait.
