Ameraucana young hen not laying

[kaperi]

Hi there!
I have a question. I have an Ameraucana young hen, they told me she would start laying more than a month ago and still nothing. Do you have any ideas?

That bird appears quite young. I would guess four months or thereabouts. I would not expect her to begin laying until at least six months and possibly as late as eight.

Well thanks a lot for your help! I was told 4 months but not all breeds are the same. As long as it doesn't turn out to be a rooster, I'm fine with it

Definitely a pullet. But don't expect eggs until at least 6 months of age. Ameraucana can be very slow to mature.

I also have Ameraucanas that are slow to lay. Make sure she has nesting boxes. You also need to make sure she doesn't hide them. But I don't think she looks ready in that picture.

Sorry, the other posts didn't show up until after I replied. So I ended up repeating information.
