Electricbarbarella Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Stripey has gone into the nesting box about 1/2 hour ago, I am waiting for my brekkie. How long does it take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlotta Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 After her first egg on Thursday, Valerie was in and out of the nest box all day yesterday, for up to about 15-20 mins at a time... but nothing was produced! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electricbarbarella Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 well I would have to say that was the nicest egg I have ever eaten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokbokbok Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 My Wyandotte is causing a lot of noise, both her and one of the Isas are yelling at the top of their voices because Lacey (the Wyandotte) is in and out of the nest box, scratching, moving round and moaning but not producing anythig - it has been going on for about an hour and a half now. Is that timescale ok or is something going wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokbokbok Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Ah - Sydney was noisy because she wanted the nest box! In the end she went on in WITH Lacey and laid her own egg. Lacey is still in there - I think she needs diagrams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 My cochins take hours to lay their eggs. Then they shout louder than the others afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokbokbok Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Ok, she has been at it for 6 hours and I am starting to worry about her being *egg bound* - what do you think the chances are of that? She sits in the box, s"Ooops, word censored!"ing at the bottom. Continuously. It has been going on for ages now. I did pick her up to see if I could feel anything but there was nothing obvious. . . Sydney went in and laid an egg within minutes compared to this one. Anyone have any suggestions? Am considering a warm bath for her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokbokbok Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Yay - panic over - she laid a perfect weee egg (our first bantam egg ) and seems to be happy again. Poor wee thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
