    Who else is waiting the impossible wait?

    Be patient (Ha not that I was!) and the eggs will start coming. My 25 girls are at I believe 19 and 23 wks now and since they started laying on the 8th I have gotten a total of 53 eggs! I love the sound of that. I got 8 yesterday so I know at least 8 have started to lay. The #'s have been up...

    Got my 3rd egg today!!!!! Not sure but think it was from another of my 17 wk old Blk sex links. Late this morning I heard the egg song from inside the house and tore outside only to find no eggs but one of my RIR's practicing her song. Just cracks me up, that song. I even sat outside the chicken...

    Who else is waiting the impossible wait?

    chickenprincess, I'd but a "tail" on her, to see where she's laying her stash of eggs!! Really, don't those of you who free range your birds all day have to go looking for the eggs? Another reason I don't want to let mine out al day. The first reason being the owl, hawks and coyotes. Oh and my...

    I have Rhode Island Reds, New Hampshire Reds, Buff Orps, 1 Blk Sex link and Barred Plymouth Rocks. My oldest are 20 wks this Friday, middles will be 17 wks, and the youngest are going on 16 wks. I think this first egg is from the Blk Sex Link that was pacing in front of the nest when I...

    Whoooeeeeeeeee!!!!! My wait is over! I went out to check my girls before I got back on my mower and there is a beautiful small brown egg in one of the nest boxes!! I can't believe I'm so calm.

    chickenprincess92, No you're not the only one still waiting. I have 26 girls who are almost 16 and 20 wks old and nothing yet. One of my RIR started really talking loud last week and squatted a coupe times when I touched her, then she stopped. Again today she's really talking. One of my black...

    Who else is waiting the impossible wait?

    Boy, aren't we a funny bunch!!! Fact is none of our girls is going to lay ANY eggs until THEY'RE ready. No matter how much we wish and hope or whether we do or don't have the oyster shell out yet. I am as bad, or maybe worse, than the rest of this group. I go out and check so often during the...

    One of my girls, a RIR 15 wks, was sounding kind of whiney this morning and getting pretty loud. I sat on a bale of straw in the small run and she hopped onto my head and when I put my hand under her breast she stepped on it and I got her dow, Then she hopped onto my lap and leaned against me as...

    Who else is waiting the impossible wait?

    When I let my flock out to run this evening one of my older girls, 19 wks tomorrow, paced back and forth on the outside roost talking to me like she couldn't get down. She finally hopped down but made me wonder if she's getting close. I'd just love that first egg to come this weekend so I can...

    Who else is waiting the impossible wait?

    Yep, I'm waiting too. 5 of my girls are at 15 wks today and the other 21 are at 14 wks today. I'm very patient but I'm keeping a close eye out now. My roo was in a nest arranging the straw a couple days ago and today I noticed a second nest was the same. No idea if that means anything but...
