So... anyone can tell me when I can expect my girl to start laying eggs?
She started this mating behaviour a week ago.
Would she start laying in a week? 2 weeks? I can't wait!
The weather and season should not be a problem here now.

Mine start mating before eggs come but that may just be because I have drakes!

Good question! I've read to expect eggs around 30 weeks. Can anyone vouch for this? Does it differ per breed or their size?

2 of my 3 girls started laying within a week of mating....
