How long should it take a pullet, once she starts sitting on the nest, to lay her first egg? My Spanish White Face, Sparkle, has been sitting for over an hour and her tail moves up and down, but nothing so far. I do not see an egg protruding, and she stays in the nest, even when I come close by. I don't want to disturb her, so have not gotten more than about six feet from the nest.
Thanks.
Thanks.
