    Bard Rocks not laying. Not even going into nesting boxes?

    We have 20 chickens, BR & RIR hatched 2/21. Half lay in boxes, and recently we found the honey hole! The others have been laying in a small shed!

    Questions: 1. The chickens were sleeping in nesting boxes, so at night I block them, is that okay? 2. I’m just starting to get eggs sporadically, and am wondering if Texas heat delays laying? 3. The chicken that I thought was a rooster, laid this morning’s egg. Am I too dumb to have...

    Our chickens are 20 weeks and 18 weeks. We've not seen one egg yet, and I am getting anxious.

    Our chickens are free range at 20 and 18 weeks. RIR, NHR, and Barred. We've searched all of their spots, and have not found one egg, or evidence of an egg. They've gotten in and out of nesting boxes, and we have ceramic eggs in their, but nothing. We're using 5 gallon buckets with a cut out...
