SallyD Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Hi One of my chickens,Bluebelle, started laying 11 days ago and Poppy 6 days ago.They've both laid every day since until today. I'm sure that this is normal but just seemed strange that they'd both missed on the same day. Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starboyhull Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Im sure more experienced people will be along soon, but from what ive read previously, maybe they have had some kind of fright???? Or if you have had the same weather as us maybe thats just put them off..... Anyway im sure more people will soon be along to offer more advise......

Hen Watch Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Had mine for 2 months now, all started laying a different times. I mostly get 3 eggs a day, but sometimes (like today) I only got 2. Mine are still young. Also it takes 25 hours to make an egg, so that extra hour a day will catch up with them at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyD Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 Could be the weather. We've definitely had the same as you - i see you live in Hull and we are just over the river from you! The girls got soaked yesterday so maybe it's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 My two usually have one day off in the week so sometimes they choose the same day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 It's hard work producing eggs, you get used to the hit and miss of egg production. I always say if they are well in every way and have a day off it's a well deserved rest for them. I have an older Cochin I bought this year who I imagine will never lay. She's lovely though BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyD Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 Two eggs in the nest today! They must have both been having a well deserved day off yesterday! Thanks for your replies Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
