Headchicken Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 So, Dax has been crouching for 19 days now, and still no egg! We have a lot of bushes and fern, etc on our property, so I've done the best I can to do a daily egg check, but nothing has turned up so far. Just yesterday, Trouble started crouching and doing this stomping/tap dance that is just hilarious! I love these girls more and more! Then this morning, Sirella crouched too! The big news is that I left them in the run a little this morning in hopes of an egg. Well, I was straightening the back porch and heard a horribly loud squawking, etc. I looked up and Dax was missing from the run. As I walked up to the cube, I heard that the noise was from inside the cube. I peeked in the eggport and Dax was sitting on the divider to the egg-box! The paper and shavings in the box were all tussled-up, too! No egg, but looks like we're trying? False labor maybe? I've got two plastic easter eggs in the eggbox to give them the "idea"-- hopefully they'll get the hint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 It's a good sign! We also get lots of testing out the nest box before finally producing anything! Trust me you will have an egg any day now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headchicken Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 I sure hope so! I'm going to go scrub the cube during the kids naptime in hopes that they'll feel really "homey" in a freshly cleaned space and want to lay an egg in appreciation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
