Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Headchicken]

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?

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 .

Our 2 new girls were three weeks after starting to crouch before they laid, well worth the wait, one is laying double yolkers!

It took ours a fortnight or more after they first crouched to laying.
