    Best way to introduce... Welsummer to new sisters

    30 week (on Wed) Chocolate Orpington not laying

    Need help. (Chocolate Orpingtons are a rare reverse sex-linked gene and develop more slowly than regular Orpingtons.) My Chocolate Orpington is 30 weeks on Wednesday and still hasn't played an egg. Is this normal? When should I expect her to lay?
