kirstydoc Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hi got my first chooks 6 weeks ago, 1 POL a Calder Ranger now 27 weeks and 3 younger girls now 15 weeks. They seem settled, eat well, have good long periods of free ranging in my urban garden, wormed them with Flubivent 2 weeks ago, still no eggs from the older girl. I've ordered layers pellets to mix with the growers pellets. I'd been advised this was the easiest feed for the 4 untill the younger ones where near POL. I'm eggsasperated with the daily " No eggs yet" reply. Thinking that I'll just have to be patient and wait for my younger girls to start laying, hopefuly kickstarting Leghorn's egglaying days. Any advice gladdly acepted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hi, and welcome to the forum. I don't think there is much you can do - when she's ready, she will lay! Is she crouching yet, and is her comb quite red? POL is a bit of a general term, and she might not be quite as old as you were led to believe, so don't give up hope - eggs may be on their way soon.

Olly Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hurrah - glad to hear it! Three years on, and I STILL get a thrill at finding lovely smooth perfect eggs in the nesting-box. Here's to many more eggs. Now, how are you going to eat that first egg ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
