It may be nothing, if they have never laid eggs before then they may lay a couple of infertile eggs to start off with, i'm pretty sre you will get what you want, you just have to be patient, they always lay when you least expect it, lol  |

In farming and animal husbandry, the term egg bound refers to a condition in laying hens where a hen is unable to pass an egg that has formed. The egg may be stuck near the cloaca, or further inside. Egg bound is a reasonably common, and potentially serious, condition that can lead to infection or damage to internal tissue. The bound egg may be gently massaged out; failing this it may become necessary to break the egg in situ and remove it in parts. If broken, the oviduct should be cleaned of shell fragments and egg residue to avoid damage or infection.
