19 and a half weeks old and still no eggs :( egg countdown anyone??

My Red started laying at 27 weeks and the EE at 26 and 28 weeks. I think 6 months is about the time they will start to lay, in my experience. I've never had one lay before that.

We are now getting teeny tiny Buff Orp eggs every other day or so. One here, one there. Not much but they are beginning to lay this late- I am thrilled! One tried to make a nest today. Seriously chicken? You have laid like 2 eggs your whole life. haha!

Shhhh. Don't tell Nelson (my boyfriend) that you've got a potentially broody hen or he'll be sneaking eggs under her.

when they squat, they lower down and pull their wings up, if you stroke their back, they will lower their heads and lift their tails, and when they are really ready, they drop their tail off to one side, it's unmistakeable.

Thanks, that helps a lot. It is nice to know when to start getting REALLY eggcited about receiving my first "room and board payment" from the girls.

And to make sure the batteries in the camera are good for the "post pictures of your first egg" thread.
