I just bought 4 hens from a guy on Craigslist he said they were one year old sex link. I got one egg after 3 days of moving them and now month later and nothing! How can I tell if they are old or done laying? If it helps at all the roosters frequently mate with them.

They're definatelly 11 weeks I've been watching the calendar extremely close since I got them. Could there be something wrong with them causing them to be small?
I have some 11 week old mixes and I was wondering if you guys could tell me what breed or gender they are. Crossing my fingers for a lot of pullets so please tell me some good news. Sorry for the low quality pictures.
I incubated some chick's and their feces smell terrible. Three weeks before I had some other chicks in the brooder and they smelled perfectly normal now I can't even walk by the brooder without almost gagging lol I don't know why they smell do bad. I've read that some parasites/illnesses will...

I have had the chickens since somewhere around mid to late April they were brand new then(day old) so when do bantams usually start to lay?
Also, I have one more that I noticed did not get in any of the pics anybody care to guess I was thinking americuna sp? but really have no clue...
