I swear you sound like me. Going by the average of when all my girls have started laying I will start looking for Squirrels first egg end of August. Raven, Creamy and Pumpkin middle of October and Blueberry will be old enough first of December. I'm fairly certain I'll have to wait on Blueberry until spring, and possibly 1 or 2 out of Raven's group. But if they all decide to lay no matter the season when they are old enough I will not complain.
I'll join you two waiting on winter layers.
 
Ok I agree, broody. If it were me to keep her in that frame of mind, I wouldn't even bother swapping out what she is sitting on with fake eggs. Even though they are infertile I don't think if she sat on them they would explode under her.
Well I just found disaster out in the coop. Phyllis was off the nest and I was going to exchange the eggs for ceramic. What I found was shocking.

Someone had destroyed her nest.

All but 2 of her eggs were strewn about the inside of the coup and one of the two in the nest were broken. I removed the broken egg, put the 3 ceramic eggs in with the one good one. Gathered the others from our in the coop and rebuilt the nest.

When I was done Sydney came in to lay her egg. And she took the nest box. A short while later Phyllis showed up waiting to get in the nest. Once Sydney is done and Phyllis is back in I'm going to wire Phyllis in.

That will buy me time to split the coop.

I am glad you were there to catch it all
