My wheaten maran is 11 months old today and not a single egg from her. She's very little, but she has a reddish comb. She is very flighty and does not even squat or seem at all interested in the nestboxes/coops. No egg song ever Is she just never going to lay an egg? Because that's what it's looking like to me. She's now 44 weeks exactly- almost a year old.
Do some chickens just never lay eggs?
We are, of course, sure she's a hen. We're also sure she is not hiding her eggs anywhere. I've heard wheaten marans are just really slow- but 11 months-?
I'm getting worried that maybe something is wrong with her Any ideas/suggestions?
Oh she has also been wormed and treated for mites.
Here's a picture of her from...about two months ago and she doesn't look any different.
