And they keep on celebrating..such a wonderful sound. But mine sing to fool me sometimes..just to get treats. lol

Well no eggs this morning but hopefully soon

Are your chickens confined or free range? If free range, make sure to watch where they are singing. They can be very sneaky. If confined in coop + run, be sure to look in unexpected places. First eggs can be anywhere. I found a first egg on the chicken ramp and one by the water fount in the run.

Thanks for letting me know that. They are coop and run. I have nesting boxes set up but they don't seeminterestes in them at all. Lucy has been paying a lot attention to a certain place and I keep watching there

do you have fake eggs or golf balls in the nests…if not, try it.

mine too, but they never used the egg song for disturbances until after they had started laying.
