JulesL Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I thought they would lay for about 5/6 days then have a day off but Raquel is on day 9 today (not that I'm complaining!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 My two pepperpots have not had a day off since their first eggs on the 4th August. The pepperpot has laid every day too. The speckeldy and amber star are a bit random! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackiepoppies Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 My 6 girls have only had 4 days off between them since mid June so as you can imagine we're getting quite inventive as to what can be done with half a dozen eggs a day Jackiex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyReckless Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 They are random wee beasties. Some lay daily for months on end, some have a day or two off a week, some lay an egg once in a blue moon and doss the rest of the time. for your layers!

Yolky Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 My has layed every day since she started. One of my s has gone broody so she hasn't layed for a few days now and also becaue of nest blockages the other took a day off too (the two s haven't been as consistant as the ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I depends on their age. In their first year they miss very few days but as they get older the gaps increase. Diet is a factor too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Ruby managed to lay for 50 days before having a day off! Opal managed 31 days and Pearl usually does between 10 and 12 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 My White Star managed to lay for 70 day on the trot earlier this year and my light sussex has twice laid 2 eggs in one day but she tends to have a couple of days off each week.
