One of my chickens started laying a couple of weeks ago. I'm pretty sure another has started too because I am getting one egg a day now. This morning as I was getting in my car I heard, "Bwaaaaak, bwak, bwak, bawk, bwwwwaaaakkkkkkkkkk" and the first thing I thought was that something had gotten in there! I ran up there and saw that Miss Cagney was sitting in the window, head up, proudly bwakkkking and there in the nest box was an egg, still warm. What a great way to start the day!
My GSL is pretty quiet about the whole thing, no clucks or song or anything. My RIR, on the other hand, squawks and hollers for half an hour before she settles in to lay. They each have their own quirks...
