Waiting for more eggs!!

[farmgirl2525]

I have 6 girls! 3 RIR and 3 Buff Orpington's. They are about 17-19 weeks old. I got an egg last Saturday and one last Sunday. I haven't gotten one since. I believe those eggs came from one of my RIR because their combs are bright red. Should I be worried or concerned because that's a big gap between egg production from what I have read on other websites. Please advise!!!

Eggs often don't start in a steady production but i would keep a eye on it if it carries on.
From experience eggs weeks apart are not too unusual

YAY for the eggs! I went through the same thing when our girls started laying. Got 2 soft eggs from 2 different gals, then nothing for almost a week and then slowly started getting solid eggs. Not all ours are laying only about 8 out of the 17 but I'm still impatient. Give it time, everything I've read has said it takes a while for their bodies to regulate to a steady production.

Thank you both! I will keep an eye on them!
