I have 2 EEs, 1 RIR; all are 26 weeks old, but none are laying yet! The RIR has a very red comb and wattles, but the EEs still don't have much in that area.
At about 22 weeks, I moved them to a new coop. They've adjusted well and seem fine. Could the move have delayed their laying? They only free range when I'm around on weekends, so they couldn't be laying their eggs someplace I can't find.
Is it possible they just won't lay at all this winter? Although they are lovely to have around, my purpose in getting them was to have fresh eggs ... my husband is more impatient than me, and is considering eating them. :-(
