My girls are driving me batty. I have two BCM pullets and one Australorp pullet (none hatchery, from hatching eggs) that are 26 weeks old. These will be my first egg layers so yea, kinda anxious for the first eggs! I want to stop buying store bought eggs and instead enjoy those fresh from the coop!
I haven't noticed any squatting behavior. The next boxes occasionally look like they were scratched about in, but nothing but shavings and the dud eggs when I check. And since their coop is elevated (tis mounted on a trailer) every couple of days I check to make sure no eggs are under it (lots of dust bathing potholes, though).
Wheeeeeeeeen?! When will there be eggs?
