timdrama Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I took delivery of my Eglu Go and 2 chickens (one of each from Omlet) 2 months ago. After 2 weeks we got out first egg (very exciting) then for about a week we got two eggs a day. Since then egg production has been very random. I would say we average about 4 small eggs a week between the 2 hens. Can anyone tell me if this is normal - being young birds do they take a while to get into a consistent egg laying pattern? Do I just have to be patient? I think one bird hasn't laid anything for over a week now. Today no eggs. I am really enjoying keeping chickens but I need reassurance that this sort of pattern in the early stages of a bird life is normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 It takes them a while to settle into a pattern. Keep them on the layers pellets and minimise the treats and they'll settle down. Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timdrama Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Thank you for this. Will follow your advice - as we are new to this we have been giving them quite a lot of treats - they go mad for grapes. Suspect I should keep them in the omlet run the whole morning to ensure that they eat only layers pellets. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
