Woohoo! Mine started too and despite locking them in the run for 5 days, I'm still finding them all over. Yesterday I let them out and one laid in the middle of the yard and just kept walking while another dropped one out on the porch among my shoes!Got my first two eggs yesterday! The chooks are a week shy of 6 months. They've been squatting for the cockerel for about a week. Now I just have to get them to use the nest boxes (one laid under the roosts [I know that was Phoebe, my black] and one laid out in the run [unknown, but I suspect Clorinda, my splash]. I left the eggs from yesterday in the boxes to hopefully encourage them to lay there. Today I'll get some false eggs or golf balls for that purpose.
