Hi all,
My almost 20 week old Buff Orpington gal started laying 4 days ago.
We now have 4 eggs! She is laying an egg about every 26 hours. I thought they would start off every 3 or 4 days??? Is this right??
Also, she seems very uncomfortable for a while before she lays the egg. Takes about 2 hours or more of her being very loud... (Bok.. Bok...Bok... Bok...) going in and out of the nest... staring in a trance... etc... before she actually lays the egg.
Will this shorten as she gets used to this?
How do experienced layers handle this?
I feel bad for her!
Please let me know.
Thanks!
