Hey folks, I'm getting a little bit concerned about the 26 week old RIR hen who hasn't laid a single egg. 2 of her roommates are leghorns who've been laying for at least a month. They started around 18 weeks. Maybe it's nothing to be concerned about but the whole flock is in great health, they have an abundance of space and free range, there are no predators or stress, there is one 3 months old cockerel to our 15 hens, she seems to be well fed and in great shape, so I have no idea what the problem might be.
If anyone has any thoughts I'd love to hear them. Or if I can make an changes to help her lay I'll do it. I've checked and everything says that a RIR should start laying at 18-20 weeks.
