Sandy, my New Hampshire hen will be a year old next month. She has never laid any eggs. All the others that hatched when she did have been laying for months. Same diet, Winter is over here in the south. Still, she is not laying. She is the only New Hampshire I have, and a very pretty hen...
I have a beautiful healthy (appearing) NH hen that still has not started laying. She was hatched the first week of June last summer and raised with several black copper marans. I had a couple other NH chicks, but they did not survive to adulthood. The marans started laying a few months ago...
