Redwing Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 My Pekin came back in to lay within a few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 It took little bros bantams about two weeks to start laying again but they did have to travel 2 hours to my house in that time so that could have affected them too. em x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 My long time broody (5 months!) started crouching again and after that started within about 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 she crouched yesterday when I went near her. TWO WEEKS though!!!! Getting the paxo out to shake at her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The crouching is a good sign. I've had ex-broodies take as long as three weeks before laying again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffyknickers Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Nugget the broody laid her first egg in a long while yesterday and one today. They are small and oddly very pale (nearly white) which they weren't before but I am pleased she is laying again and her comb is nice and red and she seems much happier. She laid exactly a week after coming out of broody prison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 That's good news . (Same day as I got our first egg from my baby girls . Must stop calling them that, they must be all grown up if we've got an egg .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
