rosalyndavies Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hi, We have had our ladies for 6 weeks today & not any signs of eggs. We attended a chicken course last sunday with Nikki & Paul in Warrington. They told us that the chickens will not lay until 26 weeks. How old are your girls? We would like to be experiencing your egg situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smanners Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 No you are not alone One of my girls ( light sussex) laid the biggest egg I've ever seen today It was truly ostrich sized It made my eyes water anyway She was about 30 weeks old when she first laid an egg, she's about 34 weeks now .

Janty Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Definitely not alone! I have 19 monsters and yesterday they laid three eggs. I am going to use the Ivermech(sp) this week as we have very few eggs anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Yes our eggs are fewer but bigger, no double yolkers though which I was expecting when I cracked the alst whopper! Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsallen08 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I know that the sunlight has a great deal in the egg making process!? I have noticed that when it has been sunny for a couple of days the eggs are bigger but when wet and rainy (and darker) the eggs are smaller! Not sure if this is an urban myth or just my random hens!
