I think my leghorn is trying to drive me crazy

Is there a certain time of day they lay?

Time can range from early morning to mid morning. If you can keep your hens in until 11ish am and you should get a full days quota, or encourage those who are not laying in the nest boxes to do so.

Ok thanks. I like to let them out but when I haven't seen any eggs yet I was afraid they might be laying under my barn. I will keep them up til noon.

This will help determine if they are or have been laying elsewhere. See how you go for a couple of days and then you may let them out earlier again.

Grrrrr it has been another week without any eggs! What is going on? Is it me? Lol

Mine have laid every day since there first egg. Do u have preditors stressing them at night?

 

[TNchickmom]

No the situation is that I bought them at 10 months and they were laying. But ever since I got them home I haven't gotten any eggs! That was over a month ago.

[lazy gardener]

Be patient! How long did you wait for that very first egg? They'll grow up soon enough.
