I know this forum is just bursting at the seams w/ "where are my eggs" posts, but where are my eggs? I've got three RIR who are 21 weeks. One of them has been doing eggs squats for a little over two weeks for me when you pet her. Now, when you just get close to her she does them. Two of my girls have really red combs and waddles. They are big and plump girls who look ready to lay. I've even checked their vent (hubby thinks I'm crazy).
I know they're tired of me stalking their nesting boxes. But, now Ida Claire (my one that is closest to laying, I think) is spending LOTS of time in the nesting boxes. She's scratching around, making little nests and she is just sitting in there for extended periods of time this morning. She seems very precoccupied and restless. Tell me we're getting closer. I just thought that by 21 weeks and w/ RIR, we'd have eggs by now. The funny thing is that the other birds keep getting up in the nesting box w/ her and don't really know what she's doing. I think it's cute and will be relieved when they're all on the same page. Ya know?
