OK - I know I am being very impatient but I want an egg.

I picked my ladies up last Friday afternoon, they are POL but sure on the exact week old.

I'm constantly looking at there wattles, comb and faces for redness and keep stroking their backs to see for the 'crouch'.

the suspense is killing me!!

Hi - I know how you feel! I got my two new ladies on 30th May and one has been laying for a couple of weeks now - albeit tiny little ones but the other one is not laying yet! They are apparently the same age but I guess different breeds mature at different paces! She did croch for the first time this week though and her face is definitely redder but still no egg as yet. I am very impatient as she is my blue egg layer!!!

My Boss said I should say 'no Eggey, ring necky'!! Of course, I wouldnt say that to my girls!

 

Grizelda is definitely getting a redder face, wattle etc by the day My husband who is away during the week really noticed a difference when he saw them last night. They arent crouching, so I guess not ready yet!

 

I'll try and get some pictures uploaded to post.
