Mine have been laying the last two weeks, Gypsychicken, and what I have learned is that they take breaks. Lots of breaks.

I'm now going on the 17 weeks with my pullets. Nothing yet...

Not even any red combs at all!

One of my girls, a RIR 15 wks, was sounding kind of whiney this morning and getting pretty loud. I sat on a bale of straw in the small run and she hopped onto my head and when I put my hand under her breast she stepped on it and I got her dow, Then she hopped onto my lap and leaned against me as I pet her. She really was getting loud. Sounded like she was in labor for a while. lol Didn't lay but I have a feeling she's getting close. I hated to leave to run errands. When I got home my 2 granddaughters ran for the hen house as I ran to stick ice cream in the freezer. I hollered don't you dare go look before I get there!!!!!!!!!! So they stood outside by the run until I joined them Nothing, dern it! lol

I got an EGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!! YAY!! It's brown so it's one of my RIR's. My first egg! It's small, like a guinea egg. They are all just over 17 weeks old!! Even better, she laid it in our nest box.

 

[Yay Chicks!]

Congratulations on your beautiful little egg!

 

[featherz]

Thank you! I think more are coming - the leghorns all have huge red floppy combs and the RIR's do as well and two of them will squat for me. I put out the oyster shell. And the golf balls appear to have worked - she put her little egg right next to the golf balls.

I know it's probably bad for the chicken to lay this early, but as it's almost winter maybe that will give them a bit of a break. (I can't help but selfishly hope they keep laying tho!).
