Help! I have 2 Barred Rocks and 2 RIR, none of them have layed, they are all 24 weeks!
They have a nesting box, we put a gold ball in it, have layer feed, I can't think of what else to try.
Has anyone had this problem before? Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!!!
 
Like other animals including humans, they do not all reach puberty/laying age at the same time. 20-22 weeks is common to start for production strains of leghorns and such. Others can take 6-8 months to lay. As long as they have layer feed 24/7 and nowhere to hide eggs, you just gotta wait.
