Hi
I have a 10 month old Brown-Red Amaracauna that still hasn't laid....when we got her at 9 weeks she had a respiratory infection and we cured it.Then on 8-1-18 we discovered that she had Bumble Foot we did surgery and THOUGHT we removed all the bumble foot (after there was these weird liquid filled lumps on her foot and they are still there) We recently dicovered that she had Bumble Foot again!! Do you think the Bumble foot ever went away??? Right now she also has another respiratory infection. Do you think all of her sickness could be causing her to not lay?

*We can't upload any photos of her. She looks pretty healthy, is a very healthy weight, very clean girl her foot is just a little puffy.
 
Two factors may be affecting her onset of laying. Yes, having an infection, especially recurring infections, can do it. Layers must be a certain weight and in good health to lay eggs.

The other factor is light. There is barely twelve hours of daylight at present, and it may not be enough to trigger egg laying hormones.
