Hi Twin Beaks, I had one hen that finally laid her first egg in January, She was hatched in May so over 8 months old and I feared never getting an egg from her. Since she started laying she has been very good and I get one a day from her and my younger hens were hatched in August have started laying as well. New egg yesterday and I have 2 more hens yet to begin. Just give her time, I know it is hard to be patient but you will be so excited when the first egg finally arrives!
