I have an EE who is 21 weeks old today. She has been checking out the nest box and singing the egg song (or close to it) and she does the egg squat when you pat her back - she has been doing this for just over a week but still no eggs from her. How long does it typically take to go from those signals to actually getting eggs? We know she is not laying in the yard - my kids have done an egg hunt every day and no sign of eggs anywhere - plus she seems to go check out the nesting boxes a lot so I am pretty sure she will lay there - plus one other hen is laying there and she goes in with her most days - so maybe she "knows" where to go?
Any ideas?
