Are they going to lay soon ?

Hi all ,

I’ve noticed the roosters are taking an interest in these hens !
First is forest the olive egger , she’s a year Old tomorrow ! ( still hasn’t laid an egg ) she’s a cuckoo Marans cream legbar cross .
Then mochi and Faye the EE girls ( bought as English araucanas but they don’t have a crest ) they will be a year in February. They are quite vocal , especially Faye . They are free range and eat organic layers pellets . They have lots of nest boxes available and fake eggs to coax them into the nest.
Forest in pic one , mochi in pic two and Faye in pic three.
Thanks in advance !

At a year old they should be laying. Since they free range you may have to find their stash. Hens are good at hiding their eggs!

Mine are pretty good at laying in the nest/coop, but they like to randomly swap which areas. Sometimes it is in the easy to reach actual nest and sometimes they are in the far corner of the coop. My scooper gets a lot of use when they are that far back.
