Have you checked under bushes and in other nooks and crannies in case they are hiding `em.

Hi, has something changed, or spooked them maybe?...maybe they are just having a break, you say its only been a few days....can something get in to eat the eggs? crows, magpies rats etc, are they under the weather, lice maybe?.....seriously tho, i wouldnt worry if its just been a few days :)

ex batts can just suddenly stop and then start again i have had this before , double check everything first before u go thinking the worst .
 but being exs they will just stop completely when they are ready  :(

have you checked to see if they are laying them elsewhere - Looby thought hers had stopped once but instead the eggs were all underneath her shed  :lol:
Staffies are softer than you think.

 :lol: :lol:will i ever live that down  :nowink: doubt it  :lol:i found 27 eggs under the shed  still dont know how they got there as i swear blind the gaps where to small for a chicken to fit though and none had teeth marks in so i dont think it was rats or anything .
