oh, i have an EE that squats, no eggs. She squats behind the coop. I even built her a special box/laying coop, just for her. Completely enclosed little nesting box that I put where she use to squat in the run. It looks like it was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, okay, not completely. Definitely Post and Beam thought process. Still no. She looks into it, have seen her on the "porch." And someone goes in and moves things around. Nothing! I am just as irritated. I want and egg! My EE Nelly and sister Yogurt are only 21 weeks though. but your story tells me I shall be waiting too. I know, Yogurt will lay first as she is the one I currently dislike, our personalities are clashing lately.
