Margaret Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hi, Just a quick question please. Omlet delivered eglu and girlies 3 weeks ago, when can I expect some eggs. Have to keep phoning home to check driving every body mad. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 When the girls' combs and wattles get bigger and redder and they start to crouch to the ground when you get close you'll be about a week away from your first egg. Usually they'll be around 22-24 weeks old. I'm afraid patience is required as they are often only just point of lay when you get them from Omlet with about 16-18 weeks.

Guest Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 my 2 from omlet were 19 weeks and it was about 24 weeks they started laying. Their combs just suddenly started sprouting faster and then I didnt know what crouching was. Mine started a couple of days after crouching(after the forum explained what crouching was) and no looking back! It will happen, first egg was tiny but a bonus double yolker indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
