Haha awesome news Mjay! I had a good chuckle at "they were at it all weekend" comment!

I have joined the egg club, mine have 2, but I'm no where near as excited as you lot because I have not observed mine to be "at it" at all, but being untamed they may prefer privacy, so maybe they were at it when I am at work. I hope so anyway!

Good luck all!

:D Great!!! You can expect anything from 3 to 5 eggs. They usually lay an egg every second to 3rd day. Its best to start counting the inqubation day's from the last egg that was laid. Some Hens only start inqubating when all the aggs are laid. Some hens start immidiatly Congrats!! :D

Hey Mjay,

Mine only have 2, and I'm not worried at all. I've had pairs in the past who only ever laid 2 eggs each time and both hatched without a problem.

In saying that, might also see what others have to say...

she is in the nest box all the time that i have noticed, so maybe she has finished,
she seems fine health wise :)

If they were still mating on the weekend you may still get more eggs, i will see if I can locate the thread about mating and eggs.
