Chicken Mad Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I am no expert but my three girls done a similar trick when I got them in January. One egg on Monday second on Wednesday and then nothing for the rest of the week. Following week I found 2 soft shells in the tray. However, they started laying two weeks later. At firts just the two, the third one taken extra week (but now she is the best layer!). I now get about 18-21 eggs a week! I am very proud of my lovely girls Kind regads, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaksy Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Thanks for that i will wait then. Good to know it isn't just mine. Can't wait for my 18 eggs a week, not that i will know what to do with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Completely normal, they will just be getting the hang of things so be patient. Not all lay every day even when they do get the hang of things. You may get the odd soft shelled egg or double yolker in the early days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
