Hello! I have 5, 19 week old white leghorns!
We discovered out first egg last friday around 1pm. And all the girls were very loud! We didn't get the second egg until monday. Otherwise everyday there's been a egg, all but twice in the same nesting box. The time varies between 10 am and about 3ish. And all the eggs seem to be about the same size (smaller).
Based off the information given so we think more than one of the five are laying?
I know that they should be on a 23 to 26 hour cycle. But since it took 2 days for a second egg to appear I was thinking that others may be laying and their cycles aren't on the egg a day cycle yet.
