welsh sarah Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 how old were they when you got them. you will know if the one is crouching, they sort of make themselves low and flat ( not very good at explaining sorry ) so if they are crouching then it wont be long before they will lay sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I got one of my hens on the 9th September last year and she didn't lay until 2 weeks ago. I know it's agony waiting A lot depends on the age and the breed. Some hens rest over the Winter time especially the pure breds. Watch for the crouch and the little chicky dance. It will be worth the wait. Chili xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
