Who else is waiting the impossible wait?

[Beth G.]

My girls from this spring still are not laying. I think it is from the heat

I have (1) 24 week old (6) 22 week olds, (11) 21 week olds, and (1) 19 week old. All except the 24 week old silkie and 19 week old aussie have Bright Red developed combs and do squat. So, who knows. I don't even bother watching them b/c I figure it is like watching a kettle of water to boil. It takes forever!!!!!!!!!!

At this point, I think we are hoping anything is a sign!

Congratulations. This is giving me hope for our Dominique. She is about 16 weeks old. Did yours have a comb that was very red? What signs did she give you that she was getting ready?

Thanks!

Oh, she was so ready. She's been very red for about a month now, a started squatting a week ago - it is very distinct squat – she would spread her wings and stick her butt up. ;-)

But it was only yesterday that we’ve noticed any interest in nesting boxes.

Good luck with yours! It may be any day now! ;-)

Mine doesn't yet have the red comb or face and isn't squatting. But now I have signs to watch for! I never thought I would be so excited about an egg!

Every day i check the entire yard. On another thread I told them I was paitent with this.

My wish for you all is that you get an egg tomorrow, especially chickenprincess92 as I am afraid she is going to self-destruct if it doesn't happen soon.
