How long before I get an egg?

[mandyok]

My peahen has the droopy wings and now she is pacing and making an almost cluck sound. I don't want her to go to long. When should I look for an egg? Should I give her a vitamin e capsule just to be safe. This is her first time to lay if these are the true signs. I know someone had a pic of a first time peahen about to lay that I was trying to find, but of course when need it I can't find it . Any advice would be appreciated.

How old is she and how long has she been acting this way?
Here is the photo you were looking for.

Go out after dark and check. Bet you will find one.

She has been pacing and making the sound just today but yesterday she had the droopy wings. She is going on two in August. But they did breed I did see that so I didn't know if this would make her lay or not.

Thanks everyone! Do you think she will keep laying, or is she just so young this might be one of only a couple?

All my coming 2 year olds layed 8 to 12 eggs each , so i would say you got more coming

I've been wondering this too! Congrats and happy for you! Mine have been breeding, sometimes she has droopy wings but I think it's just her relaxed pose. No pacing or anything really weird. Hoping for eggs soon though
