Egluntyne Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Is she free ranging...could she be laying in places that you haven't spotted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Egg laying can be a bit intermitent at the start................but almost definately worth having a look around the garden..............my girls occasionally decide to find an alternative nest box (but they always return to using the one in the eglu in the end ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Congratulations on your first egg! When Florrie first started laying she was a bit sporadic. Laid one, then nothing for 5 days, then another then nothing for 4 days! She's regular as clockwork now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
