    My 19 mos old RIR hens have quit laying

    Do you have lights? Maybe it's a seasonal thing? I know the past ones haven't - but each bird is different. Also have you checked for fleas or ticks? Are they otherwise healthy (good coloured combs, shiny feathers, acting normally, etc)? How many aren't laying - is it just one or a bunch?

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    My first EE Egg! My first ever egg was laid just 3 weeks ago - but my EE is 10 months old and I was really starting to give up hope on her! LOL

    9 Months Old - no eggs yet

    Thanks for your comment! I had always heard they should lay by 7 months so when we approached 9 months I started to worry...but like I said, she is otherwise healthy. I'm relieved to know others have had a similiar experience. She is a beautiful hen, and I picked her because of that, so I am not...

    9 Months Old - no eggs yet

    Hi Everyone, I FINALLY got my first egg this weekend - from my 6 month old Barred Rock (a beautiful, large, solid brown egg - most eggciting thing ever!). BUT my 9 month old EE (born Feb 2 - so 43 weeks old this week) still hasn't laid and doesn't look like she is ready to. Her crown is not...

    7 Month old EE not laying...

    I have a 7 month old EE (she was born February) who STILL isn't laying. All of her siblings (they're still with the farmer I got her from) have been laying for a month to 6 weeks...but she is not. I've checked the coop inside and out and have found no hidden eggs (non of my pullets lay yet, so...

    Sorry! I don't know how to delete the thread but I'll go back and see if I can find something I haven't already read that will help.

    Canadian Winters - insulate?

    Hi everyone, I'm building a new coop for my four hens higher up off the ground and I'm wondering if I should be insulating? There will continue to be vents at the top of the coop for air flow but I'm in Canada and the winters can get real cold... I will use the deep litter method to hopefully...

    Pullets STILL not laying...are they roosters??

    Thanks everyone! I will stop worrying then and just let them be. When my barred rock Leia plumped up so much faster than my EE (the white one) Splash - I was worried there was something wrong but am glad to hear it's just normal.

    Pullets STILL not laying...are they roosters??

    Hi Everyone, I have four pullets who haven't laid yet. The white one is 6 months old, the barred rock is almost 5 months old and the two gold laced wyandottes are 15 weeks old. While I know they start laying at any time within this time frame - I can't believe that I still don't have an egg...

    Final Verdict??

    Well...I rehomed "Harriet" about a 3 weeks ago because she was crowing and acting like a rooster. The guy I gave her to had chickens all his life and he confirmed she was, most likely, a Harry. Imagine my surprise when I got an email this morning letting me know Harry laid 3 eggs since Friday...

    water designs for winter??

    I second this question! I have just regular old waterers - but I do have five chicken nipples, just haven't used them yet. I'm in Canada, so it's gets pretty darn cold in about 6-8 weeks and am hoping to a water heater.

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    I'm dying waiting.... 1 EE who should be ANY day now, but yet has shown me no pre-egg laying signs (no squatting or egg song), 1 barred rock who should be within the next couple weeks, and two gold laced wyandottes that are still a couple weeks out. Will getting eggs always be this exciting??

    EE - late layer??

    Hi Everyone, Is it possible for an EE to be a "late bloomer" with egg laying? I have an EE pullet, Splash, who is supposed to be 24 weeks old (when I bought her 4 weeks ago the owner said she was "about" 5 months old) and she still hasn't laid an egg. The day I bought her, I could have sworn...

    Final Verdict??

    Well...she started crowing last week. So I guess that answers any lingering questions about whether she's Harriet or Harry! That makes out of my six original chicks....5 were roosters!

    What gender are these

    The ones with the red combs already are likely cockerels - but the rest of the pics are hard to see.

    Should be 7 pullets

    I *think* pullets...when my EE's were 8 weeks old their combs were fairly developed and red - and yours are all pretty light coloured. It's hard to be sure though - in a couple weeks you should know for sure.
