Yep definitely jealous of ya'll. My girl's are between 10 and 12 weeks old. I can't wait until my girls start laying. How soon should I put my nesting buckets in?
Lol This is the latest pic I texted hoping they'd ooh and ah over the various shades of brown. BUT they obviously don't give a whack!
I too have been on egg watch! I was told that my golden comet would lay at about 18-20 weeks, and my buff orpingtons would lay around 22-26 weeks. Week 18 came, and nothing. Week 19 came and I would check each day (ok maybe a few times each day, but who is counting). Nothing. And a gentle verbal scolding did not work either, which is strange, because verbal beratement seemed to be motivation to us as children. Who knew there was another way? (Love you Dad) Week 20 started and I had resigned myself that my sweet birds would be kind, eggless birds my whole life. And then I got two eggs in the same day! I was so ecstatic! Now I am ready for the other 3 to start. Let the gentle verbal beratement begin on those three...
Those are beautiful! I always love how each girl's eggs will be HER shade and won't match someone else's eggs. I try to make sure all my different colors and shades are represented at the top of my egg basket.
Ha I understand. It really is sad I went from a normal person to an anxious person to someone who texted EVERYONE I KNOW when we finally got our eggs! I even created a video montage!
We are at a steady 4 eggs a day. 5 girls are laying out of 7! I love my chickens!!!
Three days of eggs!!!
