How much sitting time before the egg comes out?

[Henrybelle]

Mine "practiced" sitting in the nesting boxes for about a week before laying. They would go in and rearrange the bedding, and sit for awhile, then leave. One of them even sang the egg song while sitting.
Yours sounds close. My first to lay acted really weird the day before her first egg. She paced around and acted nervous.
Now all four of my chickens will sit in the nesting box for at least an hour before laying an egg. It makes them mad, because they all try to use the same box but don't like waiting.

Lol thanks littlemisscountry this is exacltly what I was looking for
