The eight eggs is one clutch. She is done until she decides to lay another clutch. Give her 7-14 days and see what happens. The other girl will lay when she is ready. If they are well fed and don't have parasite overload,she will lay.[/quotek
Ok thanks for the info. They are really healthy, feeding purina game bird breeder, and they get cat food and fresh veggies daily as treats. Dewormer them twice 4&6 weeks before breeding season when I put them in the breeding pen. Thanks, hopefully she will start any time. I didn't know they stopped laying so long between clutches.

Same thing here. I got 6 eggs (SOMETHING happened to 2 of them

) and nothing else after that. So, I am incubating a measly 4 eggs but I guess it's better than 1 or no eggs.

I'm thinking I will have to get another incubator because when they start laying again, I will have to incubate the next clutch of eggs. I can't put them under any of my chickens (hens) because they play musical chairs with their boxes and will leave a nest of eggs and go to another box. They tick me off when they do that.

Mine stop and start again. Some reason the hen will not lay when raining here LOL Your birds still have a few months to go so be ready

Casport I never had a hen lay 2 days in a row always every other day. Put them in the bator and see what happens

That's a lot of pea eggs. What are you going to do with all of them?

I wished i could keep them all, next year i am just going to sell the eggs, they will go fast in my area and if not i will eat them if they taste good, i am caught up in the moment and excitement of having my peas lay but in reality i can not keep them all and expect things to keep going smooth like they are now

That's what I'm afraid of because I can't keep all of mine. I'm at my limit right now (9 peas). I'm afraid if I hatch too many, I will be too strict in finding them a home and will end up with a gazillion peas. I will not sell my peas to just anyone. They will have to pass the pea test.

Pea eggs are delicious. I tried them last year.

Do you (or anyone else) have "requirements of the buyers" when selling your peas to other people?

Has anyone ever had a hen lay two days in a row?

Yes i have 2 hens that layed 2 in 2 days
