BeckyBoo Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 .....is too much! How long does it take them to lay an egg? Only Speckle, who we are fairly sure is in lay - she was at the breeders altho nothing from any of them here yet - has walked rather determinedly into the cube, and is currently resident in the nest box. The children and I are desperate to go and see if she has "managaed" anything yet but we don't want to disturb the master at work. Thing is, middle girl is off to playschool soon, then I've got to go to work at 1 so I simply HAVE to know by then!! Mrs Bertie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Hi Mrs Bertie My girls are sometimes in the nest box for ages ......up to an hour........not sure if it really takes them that long to lay or if they're also enjoying a nice sit down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that egg laying must have something to do with the colour of your cube! ORANGE Congrats Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Watch Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Well done Spekle. My 1st chooks first egg was a weeny one. But on 2 months later she is laying "supermarket large" eggs. The other 2 were a bit later to this egg laying lark and are still catching up with her on egg size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 Well, we had our first two egg day yesterday! Hermione spent 20 minutes in the nest box before coming out and laying her egg in the run it was even smaller than Speckles. Then 25 and a half hours after her first one, Speckle laid us another perfect little egg too! Trouble is they're so lovely we don't want to eat them Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
