Rhode Island Red and Barred Rock 1 year old and never laid eggs - Page 2

post #11 of 15

I would be patient and wait it out (yes, it is hard, I know it!).   It is rare for a chicken to not produce an egg;  for two chooks to never produce an egg really is against the odds. Not impossible, but rare!

Garden Gal~ I will post pictures of them.  When I go to pick them up they do squat down.  They are a beautiful color.  And I have two hens, so I would think that cock activity might be happening if they weren't hens.  I purchased them from a legitimate feed store when they were a couple of days old.  I purchased 4 chicks each a different breed.  One died after a couple of days, and one turned out to be a beautiful rooster.  He is gone now because of where we live.  So I know for sure their age.

 

galanie~They are the only hens we have.  Just two!

 

Mum~I know I have been waiting.  I truly can't believe it really.  We have lots of animals with great success and over many years.  First time I have had chickens, but I know alot about other types of birds (parrots, finches, etc.)  And our animals live forever.  So I do have a lot of experience with animal care.
