34 weeker Araucana hen not laying?

[Sarzetta]

I live in Australia- so it is the middle of spring already

@BDutch

But I have plenty of laying hens anyway and she is a lovely pet. She belongs to my nine year old and he really couldn’t care less

@BDutch updated thank you. I have a local Facebook group so I’m not particularly worried about local threads here but thank you

I'm in Queensland. @MaryJanet is in S.A. @LozzyR is in N.S.W. There are heaps of other Aussies on here but these are the people I know & you can always tag one of us if you're after something Oz~specific.

I've found Aracaunas to be sporadic layers @ best ~ & none of mine liked the heat. They'd stop laying in the heat. I wouldn't worry about it.

unless she’s laying and eating them I don’t think so but I have kept a close eye on her the last 3 days and nothing

She’s not hiding them somewhere? My frizzle laid seven eggs before I discovered them, she was being sneaky!

That's happened to me too.

34 weeks is laying age for most hens. Didn't @Shadrach know a hen that never laid?

Yes, I've had three hens that never laid an egg in their life. Lovely hens they were to.

No she really isn’t I have searched everywhere for eggs - she really doesn’t lay. Maybe she will one day- but it doesn’t matter she’s my sons’ favourite . Her name is Quaxley. If she does lay I will post back here with her age and some pictures
