Egg Production

Once you have paired your birds, the hen will spend more and more time in the nest box and after 4 days her droppings will begin to change. They will become increasingly wet and copious and at about the tenth day the first egg will appear. At this time, your first eggs will bring feelings of great pleasure and excitement of things to come. Eggs are now laid on alternate days and may vary from 3 to 10 in number, 6 being the average.
