riane Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Rita has laid daily for 5 days and now has not laid for two days. Should I be worried? She seems fine, eating and drinking and running around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 When Chuckles started laying she did 2 or 3 days on and 1 day off. Cluck has always laid about 6 eggs a week. They are all different but not many lay for 7 days a week (now someone will come along and contradict me...) If she has just started laying she has done well to do 5 days without a break. Does she seem off-colour in any other way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Mine also lay for a few days then have a couple of days off - lazy whatsits!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I'd agree with everyone else, no need to worry, she probably deserves a break. With any luck there'll be a lovely egg for you tomorrow Sometimes laying patterns do vary, but they do need to take a day or 2, or even longer, off every so often. She'll probably develop a bit of a pattern and as you get more used to her you'll be able to predict (roughly) when eggs are likely to appear and when she's due a rest day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
