How soon can I expect eggs?

I'm sure they aren't eating eggs. I look closely at the nest boxes every time I go out, and there are no signs of any shells, whites, yolks, nothing. I'm thinking that they are just not ready to lay for me yet. Oh well, I will get some soon, or I'll have chicken soup!!
 
I would give them a few weeks. The molting girls may take a while to start laying again... all their energy is going towards new feathers right now. If the girls are being harassed too much by the roos, try to separate them to give them a break.

I got eggs today!! Barry was right, but not totally. There was one hen eating an egg, the same one that was beating up on the EEs. Psycho chicken, I guess. S.O. is going to be ecstatic. Now I guess I have to "remove" the psycho from the bunch. She even beats up on the rooster. It's one of the red hens I mentioned earlier in the thread. I may give her another day or two, but if I find here with egg on her face again, she's going to be invited to dinner............
