Laying Time?

[NI GUY]

I know that after the pre-lay shed we should expect
eggs 1-2 weeks after but what is the shortest and
longest time your females have laid in?

Anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks; 7-10 days is about the average though.

I've only bred one female corn so far, twice, and both times she laid on day 10 post shed. I have a second one gravid this year so we'll see how long she takes. I know occasionally they have been known to lay while in the blue of pre lay shed or more than two weeks afterwards, but as Matthew says, the average is 7-10 days after the shed.

I've had females lay before their pre-lay shed and up to around 16 days after their shed. I use the shed as a guide, but much prefer to count the 5 weeks past the initial breeding date. I find it to be more accurate with most females laying within 6 days of that date.

I am waiting on a female who is on day 10. The suspense is killing me! LOL The first group of eggs is always like that for me... after that I chill out.
