2 eggs at 22 weeks. Since then? Nothing.

One of my BA's laid a small brown egg 2 days in a row. That was on Sept 29 and 30. Since then my Ameraucana's have averaged almost 2 purty little green eggs per day but I've never seen a BA egg since those first 2.

What gives?? They were 22 weeks when they first laid and now it's been a full month and nothing? Is this normal? They eat layer mash (about 19% protein I think) and have calcium and grit on demand as well as a bit of free ranging in the evenings. I suppose they could be laying out in the yard somewhere but they seem most concerned with grass and bugs and running to see what someone else found that might be worth stealing!

My husband says he's going to hang a frying pan in their coop for decoration but tell them that SOMETHING is going in this pan and it's their choice as to what that might be!

I love that man!

I vote for the frying pan decoration.

Love to see what others say too.

Yours and my hubby must be talking

our white rocks will be 25 weeks old this thursday and still no eggs

hubby goes out to the coop every few days and ask's the girls " where are my eggs !!" he wants to put a frying pan on the wall too.

Im tired of waiting for eggs, my younger girls ( 16 weeks old RIR ) have more red in their face's than the older girls. grrrrrr where are my eggs

Mine are bright red in every place red is supposed to happen. I wonder if all that red is because they're embarrassed about their lack of production! Lazy featherbrains. They show no sign of getting down to business. And, yes, I'm sure I don't have roosters. I've seen pictures of BA roo's and these aren't it.

One of mine has done that too... don't know WHEN the next egg might come.

There's a reason we call our flock the Chicken Nugget Gang. It's a little reminder that eggs aren't the only thing they can provide for us!
