Who is still waiting for their first egg?

[Nicole01]

My RIR is making a ton of racket today inside the coop! I have several chicks going in and out the nest boxes. The ones I'm catching in there are the Wyandotte(16 weeks) and the SS(18 weeks). Maybe this week I'll get an egg.

I'll cry if they wait till 23 weeks.

My oldest is the Cuckoo Marans and she'll be 20 weeks tomorrow. I'm thinking the Olive Egger is 20 weeks, too. The BCM is probably 18 weeks and the Ameraucana is 19 weeks. Nobody is singing me the egg song yet, but I am hopeful. Here's a pic of my Helen, the cuckoo marans.

I'm waiting too. Our girls were hatched March 18 so almost 19 weeks old. I have wyandottes, brahmas, turkens, a partridge rock and a jersey giant. One of the turkens has been doing the squat for at least a week and she has been in the nesting box so I'm hoping it will be any day! The brahmas and jersey giant I think will be awhile yet.

8 of my girls are 20wks old this week...so any day now. Although, they do not seem to be in any hurry, but I have noticed that someone has been in the the nesting box. My austrolorp is only 14wks old.

Im still waiting for my first egg as well, but I still have quite awhile to wait. My 2 RSL's & 1 BO mix are 3 months old, my BSL is 2 months old and my GSL is 7 weeks old. I have seen no mating attempts from my 3 month old RSL roo (or heard any crows either) and I have not seen the egg dance or anything like that. The only thing I have found in my nest box is not edible (yuck!) and I have actually been considering modifying my next boxes so they are external and raised a little bit....to keep the poop out LoL!

Still waiting here too

...they will be 20 weeks this Saturday. They are getting a lot more vocal, and I see them going in and out of the coop a few times a day now (usually once they are out, they stay out until it is time for bed)....so hoping for one real soon!!

My leghorn started laying at 18 weeks,all my girls are in their 22nd week, I still only get about 9 eggs a day average. I have had a barred rock lay a whopper about 2" long, i swear. Too tall to fit in and egg carton. Most eggs are average, some still small. I do not believe my Rhode Island are all laying yet, as well as the EEs and the australopes. i am having a problem with the leghorns being bossie and each morning taking all straw out nests. There is alot of bickering, there are 12 nests for 26 chickens going to put 3 more in, but they ALL want only to use a few nests. The poor EEs are picked on by everyone. I do find eggs on the coop floor and outside. I also have a couple leghorn who want to brood and will search empty nest with egg and go set on it......
