Sarah B Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Mine are not laying yet but I think I read somewhere on here it's about 20 mins? Re number 2's I guess it depends how long the average number 2 is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I would say it depends on the hen I have some that are in and out like yoyos until the last minute and others that like to go and settle for a while before they lay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Mine seem to spend quite a while in there (could be 20 minutes or more) - but will dash out if they see me coming and think they're getting a treat . Then it's straight back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
