I have a 7 month old EE (she was born February) who STILL isn't laying. All of her siblings (they're still with the farmer I got her from) have been laying for a month to 6 weeks...but she is not. I've checked the coop inside and out and have found no hidden eggs (non of my pullets lay yet, so it's not like I'm confusing her eggs with someone else's - I have zero eggs!).
She is healthy though. She is clean, her feathers are full, her comb and wattles are reddish (dark pinky red). She is active, eats and drinks well. I'm really stumped!
I don't leave out crushed oyster because her feed has calcium in it, but will that make a difference? She has lots of space to roam (a 3 X 8 coop for four hens, with a matching sized run and lots of sunlight). Any hints to get my girls laying?
Thanks!
