How long fromegg song and squat to actual eggs?

Sounds like you can expect your first egg from her anyday now! So exciting! As far as how long, I had one hen who never gave me any indication she was getting ready to lay, another hen who squawked and walked around the yard for two weeks and went in and out of the nesting box five times a day before finally laying her first egg. And I have had everything in between! Sorry, wish there was a magic number I could give you.

I would guess within the week .. Can't wait to hear about your first egg!!

 

My girls just started at 21 weeks -only 2 of 6 so far. The singing and squatting went on for about a week before hand. I also discovered that one girl had been laying in odd places so we got 3 bonus eggs!

Watch her closely, it will be any time now.

 

i think it was 8 days from the first "squat" to our first egg. one of our BR's was the first to lay at about 3 days shy of 20 weeks.

 

Egg song & Squat? I am new to this chicken business - have 8 silver-laced wyandottes that are 16 weeks old...please enlighten this newbie on the egg song & squat and what I should be looking for. Thanks!

 

I must have "out of the norm" chickens. We have never witnessed the egg squat(and not for lack of watching them all the time instead of gardening). We were able to tell who our 2nd layer was because we saw her eating crushed egg shells that we put out for them. The whole time we thought it was our BR who has the reddest comb and waddle and thought it was weird that she would be eating the egg shells if she wasn't laying. Yep, we were wrong! Our RIR sings the egg song after she lays only once in awhile, not every day and our Golden Comet goes in and lays and comes out like nothing happened.
