Hello, I am new to chcken keeping and could do with some advice. I have got three hybrid pullets, about 25 weeks old. Two started laying about a week ago. The first one to start laying gave us an egg every day for a week, then yesterday I saw her in her box, and heard her coem out making the usual "I've done an egg" noise, but there was no egg. And she didn't lay one today either. Is this sort of thing normal, or might she have a problem? Is it usual to see irregular patterns of laying when they are young? Do they sometimes think they'd laid an egg, even when they haven't? :? Thank you!

I think it's usual when they are so young. Not sure though but someone here will tell you for definite

Our 1st one stated laying at 17 weeks, laid around 6 then had a break for a week and started again on friday last week - had one every day since and every 3rd on is a double yolker!

Thanks for your replies. She has now laid one this morning, so I was panicing for nothing
