FruitandNutCake Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I was lucky and got 2 from Dinks. the first after about 8 days of laying, the second after 13 days. After 15 eggs, she is now having a break - don't know how long for! Hopefully she will continue the pattern of laying double yokers about once a week. The other two are still laying smallish eggs (50g). Bonza hasn't had a break since starting 2 weeks ago - but hasn't laid any big ones!

Egluntyne Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I found with my girls it happened quite a lot for the first few months as their laying tackle settles down......then none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
