Jules. Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Hello *waves* If the girls crouch when you approach them then that is a good sign for them being close to laying- having said that we get 2 eggs a day & one only crouches when she feels like it Nice red combs & wattles are also good pointers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Hello from me If your girls are about the same age it could just be that one's a slow starter hopefully she'll get the hang of it soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starboyhull Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 All ours are now crouching, but only one is laying and all ours should be about 23 - 24 weeks old, Im guessing that some just amture a little quicker than others......

Kathy C Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Hi and Welcome to the forum. Chandon started to lay 2 weeks after she arrived, one week later Moet started, but Peri kept us waiting 3 more weeks. (Strangely enough Chandon looks less developed than the other two, her comb is much smaller.) They all arrived at the same time and were the same size to start out, so I guess they develop at different rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Watch Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Hi and welcome. My chooks were from Omlet and first one laid within few days but the other two made me wait (see my signature for when my lot laid). You may have to wait a while. Glad one is laying already for you.
