Hi, we had our first ever egg last Thursday, we only have four chooks. Since then nothing, is this usual when a hen first starts to lay ?. We suspect the layer was one of our RI Reds. WE have noticed since the first egg, she has been visiting the coop and staying inside for 15 to 30 minute periods. Is she trying to produce another egg maybe ?. We did find a substance in the coop that looked possibly the white of an egg ( but no shell ).
