Breed? V. important!

I don't think they would actually, mine wouldn't either. What breeds?

I’m honestly not sure what breeds, when I got them as chicks the sign said a few different ones. I can remember golden sex links, Easter chicks.

Well, I've had sex links, they can take a few weeks longer. Do they squat yet?

Yes I see them laying down

Yes I see them laying down

I mean, if you put your hand over them, will they crouch?

Oh yes they do

Means they are nearing laying time. I know how you feel, but be patient! I hope you get an eg soon. Meanwhile, I'd remove the basket.

I have 6 boxes for 5 hens (The coop/run was already here when we bought the property). I have shavings in 3 of the boxes and hay in the other 3. They will ONLY use the hay filled boxes and they like the bedding thin enough that the wood bottom is visible. If I'm in the hen house when one lays an egg, I hear the egg knock when it lands. I would keep yours confined till laying in the house becomes a regular thing. If they are out free, they may well be laying out in obscure places. We had one hen who built a nest under a hedge and we found 12 eggs in there, bad girl!
