Tricky Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 Still waiting I'm afraid although she seems back to normal so perhaps it was all just a dress rehearsal.Either that or she's secretly laid it in a good hiding place Keep watching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bexibex Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 One of my ex-batts is doing the same thing but she has obviuosly laid before which is very confusing. We have had them five weeks now but so far she has laid two wind eggs and two soft shells yet sits in the nest box every day making all the right noises. I have been having very similar worries to you as she spends so long in there each time but otherwise seems fine. I'm wondering whether her problem is because she has been so overworked and may have come to the end of her egg laying days. Keep us informed of your progress!

Roobaloo Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 My magpie, Toph laid two softies before she started...each was a few days apart, then nothing for a week! She then started laying regularly and for the first month, we had one double yolker each week!! Just keep an eye on her behaviour, she'll tell you if she's not right!

Tricky Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Still waiting.Nothing since she laid a softy last week and then kept running in and out of the eglu.perhaps her egg laying days are over before they've begun .We shall see.
