    6 month old hens not laying

    Quote: Agreed and they are our pets as well. They are healthy and happy girls (other than my cross beak but even she is doing well considering), the non-cross beak just started laying pink/cream eggs which are lovely. I'm disappointed that I was mislead and now will have a hard time knowing...

    6 month old hens not laying

    My son picks up his fav chicken, a Golden Comet, daily and she lays like a champ. I agree with above, might be a food issue.

    6 month old hens not laying

    Yes, I've heard that - about the hatchery vs feed store. I saw her in the nesting box today and there was another cream/pink egg so now #1 I think she's an Easter Egger #2 I think my Speckled Sussex is still not laying and it's been her this past week or so. LOL! Funny thing is they both have...

    6 month old hens not laying

    I actually think my "Araucana" is laying the cream/pink eggs and not the Speckled Sussex. I've seen her in the nesting box a few times and then shortly after find the cream/pink egg. I'm bummed because I thought she'd lay blue/green eggs as she has green/slate legs and a rose/pea comb :(

    6 month old hens not laying

    My Araucana/Easter Egg (not sure anymore) spent a lot of time in the nesting box the other day but I'm not sure if she left an egg or if it was the Speckled Sussex. It was a creamy-pinkish egg so it's hard to say. The Speckled Sussex only seems to lay every 2-3 days if it was her.

    6 month old hens not laying

    She's finally putting on weight. I spoil her and give her Greek Yogurt and Steel Cut Oatmeal. She's beautiful and I wish she wasn't scissor beak/cross beak. I'll try to get a close up of her this week. She really needs the top beak trimmed.

    6 month old hens not laying

    I was just out there and they were both squatting for me so I took a peek into the nesting box and all the hay was pushed around. As I approached I saw a perfectly creamy white egg!!! I think I'll be adding some blue eggs to this picture in the next couple of weeks too! Spin off question: my...

    6 month old hens not laying

    We have 5 hens, we purchased them in late June/early July when they were 2 weeks old. Our 2 Golden Comet hens started laying at least a month ago and lay 1 egg a day each. We have one Speckled Sussex and 2 Araucanas which are not laying. They don't exhibit any signs of being roosters so we...
