Crossing the Road
And my first few eggs I found on the ground in the run outside the house. It took them a few more days before they figured out they were laying in time to actually use the nesting boxes.

Mine started checking out the nests maybe 7-8 days before I got the first egg several continue to check out the nest for a few more days before they started laying. It's a good sign but it's not an immediate sign. Your continued patience will be needed.
I Should warn you, about something else I don't read here often. Or perhaps my experience is unique. People talk about squatting behavior when you go to pet a chicken that's laying. Mine now do it in front of my feet as I'm walking. I have nearly tripped several times when a hen sees the shadow of my movement behind her and thinks she's supposed to squat.
My pullets are all 20 weeks and NOTHING! I haveAny eggs yet? How many weeks are they now? I have 6 BO's I'm waiting on, almost 19 weeks...*sigh*
Woohoo! My buff crawled into the nesting box when I was pulling this one out (and unburying the fake eggs they buried when laying this egg). So maybe she's the culprit? But I'd think it's my black Australorp because her comb turned red first? Not sure! My barred rock is squatting too now!
Well here we are 2+ months later and my ee still isn't laying! I'd say maybe she's laying brown eggs, but I've never ever had 4 eggs in one day so there's no way she's laying. My husband is getting sick of her free loading, haha
She's 12 weeks behind my other chickens! I found a feather from her in the nesting box last week, but still nothing.We have two EEs anf they were both 3-4 weeks later than the others. Late bloomers. They cant help it.
