Egg wait going on here! Our flock will be 17 weeks at the end of this week, and I think a few of our Black Stars are getting close. I haven't seen any squatting yet, but somebody is checking out the nest boxes. The shavings have been stirred up in them and I found a plastic dummy egg on the coop floor after it had been knocked out. We're all ready for our first egg!

see its the wait after you are ready that gets you. I was ready for some time now and almost gave up. Threatened to get out the chicken fryer equipment and the next day an egg.

I will. I took some today, but the site isn't letting me upload them. I'll take them on an i phone tomorrow to see if I have better luck.

Ok, I spoke and recieved!!! That never happens! Especially with my kids Went out yesterday and there it was. But, not from the one I expected it from. Got 1 from my EE. Like a blue light shinning in my eyes when I walked in the door. I was soo excited. Had to call everyone. But I will still do the waiting game on my pretty little Bantam Splash. Thanks all for keeping my hopes up!!

Mine squatted for near 2 weeks like that prior to laying an egg.

Well, I wouldn't say she's squatting... she just freezes!

Today I heard the egg song! A very loud Kuk-kuk-kuk-kuh KAAAWWWWW!!! But when I went out there to see who was doing it they stopped

No eggs either. What could this mean?

Woo hoo! So happy that you got an egg! I'm only getting 1 egg a day (out of 4 hens) and that's just every other day. They also refuse to lay in their nesting box and instead lay in the deep litter! Sooooo yuck!
