i have months be they lay .....but when should a put in a dummy egg so they get the idea?
 
Unblock or install nest boxes and put in fake eggs when they begin to squat as you reach down to pet them.
Around 1 to 2 weeks later my Golden Comets started to lay.
I leave a ceramic egg in each box. GC

Agree. Once they start squatting is when I would unblock the nest boxes and add the ceramic eggs. Squatting is obvious, you'll know right away when you see it. All of mine have started laying within a week or two of the first squat.
