My hens are 30 weeks and STILL not laying...around 24 weeks we found 5 hens that were currently laying that their owner was giving them away due to a move, we snatched them up and brought them home...hoping this would encourage the younger girls to start laying...still nothing. ITS DRIVING ME NUTS!
We have a heat lamp in their coop, nice and bright and warm, they eat great, drink great, have grit, EVERYTHING THEY COULD WANT.....
Desperate for eggs (more than the 4 to 5 I get a day from my oldie hens)
