"Should I buy eggs or wait it out?"

My four Easter Eggers are driving me CRAZY with waiting for some pretty eggs!



Eve, Olivia, Bonnie, and Tink are now 23 weeks old... I know that I need to give it another few weeks, at least. But the anticipation is driving me insane! Their faces started reddening a couple weeks ago. One of them, in particular, seemed to develop a deep red comb that tripled in size nearly overnight. This same hen has also started squatting, and all of them have randomly started displaying similar behavior (in brief flashes) over the past few days.

I made two wonderful nesting boxes for them, filled with fresh pine shavings and white dummy eggs. The girls ignored it, seemingly uninterested...

And then, finally... today... THERE WERE FEATHERS IN THE NESTING BOX!

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

I ran out of eggs yesterday and had to pick some up at the grocery store. As I unloaded the groceries, I could feel them peering into the kitchen at me (they like to peck at the glass door). I tried to give them the saddest look that I could muster.

How long must I wait for fresh eggs!?
