So I got my first egg on the July 3rd and since then she laid an egg for three days and then she didnt lay anything the next day and then she started laying again. She laid for two days and then nothing yesterday. I hoping today I will find somethng. Is this normal?

I would say it's ok.  A lot of chickens don't lay every single day.

Perfectly normal. I think I read somewhere that the world record for egg laying was 364 eggs in 365 days, so not even the best chicken lays everyday! smile.png It is normal to miss a day or two, especially when they have just started laying. She will most likely become more frequent and regular as she matures.

Thanks so much, makes me feel better. I'm new to raising chickens and I want to make sure I'm doing it right.
