She could still lay today! Or tommorow...

 

Sage is in the nestbox right now. droolin.gif

I have five hens and two pullets- one seven year old red star, Luna, one white leghorn, Sage, one SLW, Pepper, one adorable fluffy EE, Bedazzle, and one black star, Buckbeak. My two pullets are Nutella, my wheaten marans, thirty five weeks, (who is yet to lay an egg!), and her best friend, Sammy, seventeen weeks.

Did you get your egg?  AC is still holding out for spring.

Yup! She layed her first, skipped a day, and has been laying ever since. Maybe she'll lay tommorow- that's usually how it works. You give up hope and then she lays :) .

Well, congratulations AC - you are 27 weeks old and still NO EGGS!  barnie.gif  

I don't want to make you feel bad - but your hatchmate Smokey has been laying since New Years Eve and is about to hatch out her own babies on Tuesday. jumpy.gif

So please, please, please consider laying soon - won't you.D.gif

Sorry still no luck hugs.gif Both my black stars started laying a few days ago on the same day! I'm sure you'll get eggs soon.

Thanks.  That's great about your Black Stars - are they brown layers?  I think I heard AC sneer at me when I went out to clean the coop today - either that or she chuckled.  She's a hold out for sure.  I've all but given up on her since I have so many new chicks to focus on right now.  A week away from hatching some Wellies & Ameraucanas :)

Happy birthday AC yippiechickie.gif - you are now 29 weeks old

 

Do you think she'll lay me an egg for her birthday?  fl.gif

I dreamt the other night that I found her "hidden" nest - a pile of 50 or so eggs buried just under the straw/sand - the eggs were sticking out and I could clearly see them once my eggs were opened to them being there.  HAHA!  If only it were true!  barnie.gif

 

Oh well - the best things are worth the waiting - but not too long please.

hugs.gifAw, sorry she's still not laying. I had the same kind of dream waiting for my WL to lay! Finding a giant hidden nest of eggs in the bushes... :) . Any eggs today, then? Maybe she'll wait till her 30th, or her 33rd like mine did.

I have five hens and two pullets- one seven year old red star, Luna, one white leghorn, Sage, one SLW, Pepper, one adorable fluffy EE, Bedazzle, and one black star, Buckbeak. My two pullets are Nutella, my wheaten marans, thirty five weeks, (who is yet to lay an egg!), and her best friend, Sammy, seventeen weeks.

HAHA - yeah she'll probably wait until a year has passed - then decided to lay.  I told her if she doesn't start soon she's going with the roosters to our friend's country property.  A threat I would never carry out - but it sounded good at the time.  I'm just hoping for her sake that she doesn't wait until after the Lavender Orpingtons start laying - or the Silkie for that matter - or she will have a whole lot of competition for those three little nest boxes.  :)

Well AC Tuesday you turn 30 weeks old - and I warned you - if you didn't hurry up and start laying one of the LOs would lay before you - and look what happened!

 

Come on AC - I want one of your eggs!
