How do you know when they are getting ready to lay?

Females will lay 30 days after prelay shed. Are you sure she ovd? Did she do a pre lay shed yet?

Typically 26 to 34 days, 30 is just an average.

My first clutch this year dropped on day 27 after prelay shed and I've had them drop on day 33 too.
