Lapinou Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Ok, I think I've been fairly patient waiting for eggs from our girls, and I knew to expect a fairly long wait, but the omlet guy said 'in about four weeks', which I know is a bit of a guesstimate but....I am getting really impatient now!!! We've only had them three weeks, so I have no right to be impatient, but I knew you guys would understand and I just wanted to vent, really! COME ON EGGS!!!!

hanson Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Don't worry! I was getting really worried also and very impatient. Though I started to chill out once I started seeing some signs from our hens that they were getting there! 3 and a half weeks its taken....but boy, was it worth it!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 My girls arrived on 9th September - I had to wait till the end of November for 2 of them and the end of January for the 3rd . Not trying to worry you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lapinou Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Thanks ANH Actually, it's just getting an egg while we're away I'm hoping won't happen - if they wait until we get back, I'm happy with that too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Any sign of crouching yet that is a very good indicator? We waited about three and a half weeks I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 and I just wanted to vent Good choice of words! I waited for 6 weeks for my first girls to lay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lapinou Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Any sign of crouching yet that is a very good indicator? Loads of crouching for ages from one, and another has started crouching. The crouching one has a lovely red comb, although not huge. And they all have white legs. So lots of signs, but no eggs - it's like waiting for a baby to arrive!

Libby May Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I got my 4 girls on 13th July, then, in 1 week, got 3 eggs even thought we were supposed to wait a month. Now, none again is this normal?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
