Hi,
I've had 5 chickens for 5 weeks now and so far no eggs......we're waiting impatiently. My husband more impatiently than the rest of us. They are all between about 18 and 20 weeks now so I figure they can't be far away from laying. My local feed and seed store gave me a couple of dummy eggs to put in the nesting boxes to encourage them but so far all they do is stay as far away from the plastic eggs as possible. I wondered if maybe mixed breeds are slower to lay than pure breeds......?
Cheers:cd
