Recently I had noticed that Sugar’s comb had become red again and she has been more vocal. I wondered if she was getting ready to lay again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar laid yesterday and again today. Her eggs are quite large for serama eggs and oval in shape. After being broody for just over six weeks she is laying just two weeks after coming out of her long broody spell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was surprised as I thought it would take her longer to start laying again after such a prolonged broody spell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
