Here are the ungrateful little wretches enjoying their fresh dandelion greens this morning. Clearly not thinking any eggy thoughts...

I have two red stars that have both been laying for a while.

I have two EE's that aren't doing bupkis yet. One has had a red comb for a while and they both seem to have widening bum's.

I have one black australorp that isn't widening, and isn't laying. "She" is still not crowing so I have been told not to give up hope.

They are just over 25 weeks.

Oy!

My girls started laying just after 24 weeks. I was getting impatient as well and started them on a higher protein. Within a week they started laying and we have been getting 4 eggs daily from 5 hens.

My 2 oldest RIRs are 7 months (I guess about 29-30 weeks) and one has just started laying this week. The other hasn't. I have two 6 month olds (RIR and Black Australorp) not laying either. Be patient. The eggs will come. It's what chickens do, so it WILL happen. Don't give up!

I have an araucana and a salmon favorelle that are 27 weeks and not laying yet....seems they are taking their time growing up.

We have 4 Barred Rocks...3 are laying, and have been for months .
The 4th is rather stunted in growth, with small comb and wattle, and yellow legs.

She's 7 mos old.......hmmm? Y'all think she might be a late bloomer?

I have 3 silkies and 5 mixed Cochin & D'Uccles.I know they are girls, because I saw the little rooster Umm-- "courting" them. They are 30 weeks old, and I get between 2 and 4 eggs a day. One girl is broody. That means 3 are slacking.

31 weeks...no eggs. I have an Australorp and a cochin bantam. Nothing. My duck started laying....to my surprise, but the chickens...nothing!!!!

I have some 7 month old ameraucanas that haven't started laying yet.

I'm trying to be patient. My 9 month old GC Maran didn't start laying until two weeks ago... but her eggs ARE HUGE and DARK!
