Yesterday I was delighted to find a $2000 egg in the coop on the floor in the corner. Of course she didn't use the egg boxes. Today nothing.
There are four 26 week old Golden Penciled Hamburgs. One of them laid the egg. There are two 22 week old Golden Cuckoo Marans, but they will lay dark eggs and this one was smallish and white = hamburg.
So if one of the hamburgs is laying, I'm hoping all hamburgs are getting close. How far apart will the first eggs be usually? And what do I need to do to get them to use the egg boxes?
I have pine shavings and a golf ball in there.
thanks for your advice
