    Haha! My Rocks were 23 weeks old on Sunday so it's not like they're way past due to start... it just feels that way! Poor girls, they're used to free ranging all day but I've been so suspicious that they were laying somewhere outside during the day that I've been leaving them in their coop...

    Haha! Seriously, I feel your pain! I thought once they started laying, I'd feel better but that one egg was such a tease.... By the way, is 22 weeks a pretty common age for EEs to start laying? I have a couple that are about a month younger than my other birds but I've been so focused on...

    Ugh, I'll join this party.... I'm so sick of waiting! My girls are almost 23 weeks and still nothing! Not only am I dreaming about finding eggs, my boyfriend is as well and confessed to me last night that he had considered buying eggs and putting them in the nests so I could find them and stop...

    Hi and welcome! I'm also from NH and I have a Pekin duck who's part of my flock of chickens. (She thinks she's one of them and I don't have the heart to disabuse her of this knowledge! ) What kind of ducks do you have?

    Normal For Easter Eggers?

    I got two 14 week old Easter Egger pullets yesterday and they are great! Tame and friendly with nice personalities... The only issue I had with them was at dusk, rather than going into the coop to roost, they flew about 10 feet up into the surrounding trees to roost! They didn't resist us...

    Thanks, everyone! Time will tell.... Right now they're much more concerned with lounging under a bush to avoid the heat than with egg production... @ Flowerbh - Yes, their waddles do seem to kind of "pop"... I've seen a huge change in mine over the last couple of weeks which has made me...

    I'm playing the waiting game, too! My BRs are going to be 18 weeks on Sunday... Their combs are getting really red and growing like crazy but no laying song (that I've heard) and no crouching either. I've heard they can start anywhere from 17-27 weeks. Anyone have BRs and want to give me...
