Singing hens, when to expect eggs

[JChipowsky]

Did the male mount them previuosly?
If not, it's good sign that they are near to laying.

Messing in the nests is the closest sign I've ever seen.

The males have been mounting most of the older hens, haven't seen them on the brahmas or merans, but definitely on the cream legbars and Easter eggers.

An olive egg! wonderful!

Most of our flock should lay blue green and cream shelled eggs, three should lay very dark brown eggs.
