Headchicken Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 When should I be worried? Dax has been crouching for 10 days or so, and still no egg (at least that I can find ). They roam a 1/4 acre all day, so if she's layed somewhere it's possible, but I've tried my best to walk around and look under a lot of the shrubbery to check every evening. Also, they've been staying in the run until 8:30-9am most mornings due to our summer routine and current weather. So what do you think?

Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 It could be that she's not laid yet - it's usually within a week of crouching but not always. You could try putting some golfballs in the nestbox to give her a hint . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iar fach goch Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Our 2 new girls were three weeks after starting to crouch before they laid, well worth the wait, one is laying double yolkers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 It took ours a fortnight or more after they first crouched to laying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
