I just consulted a calendar and Miss June, my lovely Easter Egger, is almost 31 weeks old. No egg.

Bad June. Her comb is red. She is not squatting for us OR the rooster.

Anyone have any "My EE didn't lay till she was ____weeks old" stories? Here is June.

Maybe June's related to my Ari. She's holding out too! :mad: 29 weeks!

I had 2 EEs that had yet to lay but one layed her first egg yesterday and it was the brightest, gorgeous blue (not greenish at all). The old adage "Good things come to those that wait" held true for me...I hope they do for you too. Oh, and the one that layed yesterday will not let anyone get near her...never squatted once so I wasn't expecting an egg anytime soon.

Surprise!

Good luck with your lovely June...
 
Sad to say it but my EE held out for 32 weeks :mad: Now she is coming out of the molt and I am hoping for a few more eggs before winter but I bet I won't the only little buggers still laying are my Dellies and leghorn!
 
Sure hope June pops one out before 32 weeks! Oh, my, she's a real slowpoke. But she has filled out and lovely to look at. I love the soft blues in her tail and wings. Her beard used to be dark blue as a youngster.
 
I don't feel quite so bad now. I've got one 27 week old Buff Orp named Ollie who still isn't laying. Not squatting for the rooster or us. She must think she's special. She is a character and refuses to come in with the rest of the chickens. We have to corner her to get her in the pen! Bad Ollie! :mad:
 
My ee didn't lay an egg until she was just shy of 32 weeks! Sheena lays a pretty green egg each day now -- and has joined the squat club! Late bloomer, you say? I am still waiting on Cloudy, my blue cochin...

My buff orp, Clarisse, was 16 weeks beginning of sept. last year. She laid her first egg Christmas Day. That would be about 32 weeks. I guess June will eventually lay.
