mazeltov!

Millie finally had her egg - about 25% larger than her second egg. I went out to find Josie sitting on it and took it out from under her with no protest on her part. She (Josie) is sitting quietly now, in the box, after all the loud noise of the past couple of hours. Maxine and Millie are...

Well Millie has let Josie up into the house. All if quiet for the moment. Josie has the fake egg. Millie is sitting quietly. Is it common for hens to have so much trouble with the subsequent eggs? I feel like a midwife! LOL

yeah - I have the alabaster egg. but Millie is dominating that.

There is a great deal of drama this morning. Millie, the hen who has already laid 2 eggs, is dominating the nesting boxes and refusing to move. I suspect she is trying to produce her 3rd egg. Josie, a pullet who has yet to lay, is raising a ruckus. She's making a lot of noise (singing? -...

So I went outside and Millie, the girl who laid the egg yesterday, was dominating the nesting boxes and wouldn't let anybody else up into the house. When I looked inside she scolded me and kept running up and down the ramp and squawking at me. So I put the alabaster egg back into the box and...

You are communicating with a total luddite. It took me two days to figure out how to answer to a specific post. I don't know how to post photos or copy and paste something on the website. It's something I could figure out I suppose. Anyway - so the singing continues even when egg laying...

What is POL??

I have two other pullets from the same flock, same age. They are looking like they are getting ready. I have heard any egg songs, but I am hoping for some. I had the egg over easy - yum. The girls free range most of the day (and they have totally trashed my plantings). I put them in their...

The scratching around was the final sign with my girl's first egg yesterday. She did it for about an hour and a half before the beautiful egg appeared. Good luck

She is an Americauna.

Today Millie (23 weeks 5 days) was very annoyed when I began to clean the coop. She kept coming in and squawking at me. As soon as I finished (only about 20 minutes) she went in and started scratching, which she did for about an hour. I remembered I had an alabaster egg so I put it into the...

LOL. Good luck. Maybe I should tell my girls that

thanks, this is helpful. I don't know if my girls will react the same way. It's interesting how many variations there are.

my girls are all 23 weeks old - Americaunas (I am told). I'm eager to see the blue eggs! I've had them since they were about 10 weeks old

so I don't see any comments on clues about when a pullet is about to start laying eggs. One of my has had a sudden increase (over 2 days) in the size of her comb. Could that be a signal??
