Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Lapinou]

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]

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!

Its worth the wait

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 .

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!

Any sign of crouching yet that is a very good indicator?

 

We waited about three and a half weeks I think.

and I just wanted to vent

Good choice of words!

 

I waited for 6 weeks for my first girls to lay.

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!

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??
