THAT is exactly what it sounds like! Now, is that AFTER the egg laying (because I've seen mine outside of the coop singing that song, then found a warm egg in the nestbox; or is it DURING the laying?

Hi, we only have 4 hens and my first egg was at 19 weeks exactly; I saw two eggs a week later and then began to see three soon after than. Today, again, we had four... the girls are cranking them out. I am soaking some of their grain today, going to try this "fermented" feed thing and see how...

Just a little note since it's been about three weeks or so since our four girls started to finally lay eggs. From inception, each egg has been perfect, and only once - upon cleaning the coop - did I see what was probably a shell-less egg (pretty danged slimy). They did start out small and over...

Love reading all of the posts. We now have had 19 total eggs hatched, and our biggest days were yesterday and today (with 3 eggs each day). We have four hens, so I don't know if one is skipping days or if one of them just hasn't had her first, but we have had all size, and the blue EE is just so...

Houston, we have landed an egg!! Woohoo - I know, so lame, eh? We've never raised chickens before and we only have 4, but those four are our "girls" and the buff Orpington was singing and squatting and scratching in the nest boxes yesterday and today - viola!!

Today, one of my buff Orpingtons does actually squat whenever I reach down to her or if she's close while I'm cleaning the nest boxes (which have yet to have a real egg in them). She's been doing this for about a week, I'd say. Now, while the other 4 are out and about and free ranging in their...
