lets talk eggs
« on: April 25, 2008, 15:42 »
well to date ive had 4 eggs from my 3 bantams, i think its the same one laying and they where all in the first week.

its 2 weeks tomorrow since i got them and in this last week ive had no eggs.

i was told they had both started laying when i got them and wondered if i could do anything to start them off again?

ive put some dummy eggs in the laying box yesterday



any advice welcome

thanks

Dont think that there is much more you can do. Just wait and see.
If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.

It took mine a couple of weeks before I had any eggs and now bless their little hearts I am inundated!! I don't know if its coincidence but mine were in a rabbit run for the first couple of weeks and once they settled I let them have the freedom of the whole allotment. They started laying the next day. One of the others on the allotments had a similar experience- might be just coincidence but maybe worth a try if they are in an enclosed run.  :)
