26 weeks and still no egg

dear pkforever, I feel for you

 

mine are 25+ and 22+ weeks - still waiting

maybe if I post that I am still waiting enough times, the egg fairy will have pity on me and the other BYCers and will honor me with my first egg.

 

I am feeling for you too. I have a RIR that was born before easter. That makes her about 30 weeks, no egg.
My EE are just about 26 weeks and my BO and frizzels about 24.

My only layer is my Black sex link who was probably about 24 weeks.
Bummer and now they go to bed at 6 instead of 8:30. I did put a light in the coop this week. Hopefully that helps.

 

Five of my chickens are 26 weeks old. Two started laying four days ago. The other three are doing nothing yet.

 

I moved them to layer food 2 weeks ago, do you think that is the problem?

 

My EE's will officially be 23 weeks tomorrow, and only one is laying. She started at 21 weeks ,and gives us a light green egg almost every day. Nothing so far from the 4 other girls. Hopefully soon, but with the days getting shorter, who knows.

 

Don't feel bad I have 18 BCM, Blue Marans, Heratige RIRs and EE's and none have laid in the past 3weeks and most were laying a few weeks before. I have no Idea what's going on. No molting but we did have a small flood 3 weeks ago, new feed and I mixed in a few new chickens but most everyone around here has the same problem. I think they all are on strike. they have all been on layer mash.

 

My girls are 6+months old (RIR) and just started laying...... hang in there

 

If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, this is a poor time of year for young birds to begin laying eggs. They need at least 14 hours of daylight to continue laying, are you providing light for them at the beginning and ending of the day to balance that out to 14 hours?
