Ancona not laying??

That's ok, it's more likely that your bird will soon surprise you in a few more weeks

I hope so

Generally this time of years pullets will mature more slowly. I always add about a month onto my expected starting date. For an Ancona I would expect anywhere from 20-25 weeks, so she could take a bit longer.

You can try feeling how far apart her pubic bones are. If it feels like an egg could fit through them, then she probably is laying or will begin laying soon. If her pubic bones are still close together, then you will just have to wait. She's a beautiful pullet.

Congratulations, usually complaining on BYC gets you an egg pretty quickly.

I was googling why my Ancona was taking forever to lay compared to the Isa Brown and now I know why. They just seem to be late bloomers. Hanging out for a white egg too.
