Brahma and Sussex still not laying

[Brahmaman]

I have a light Brahma and a speckled Sussex that are 35 weeks old and they are still not laying yet. They get enough food and the right nutrients. Is this normal?

 

[ChickenCanoe]

Are they your only 2? Not really normal but can happen.
Are they otherwise healthy? Are they on layer feed? Layer should only be for birds actively laying.

 

[Brahmaman]

I have 2 other bantam Cochins that are only 20 weeks old and ones a rooster but the hen is not laying either

 

[ChirpyChicks1]

Could they be hiding eggs?

Could you have rats or snakes or other small predators that could be having an egg snack?

 

[donrae]

Brahmas and cochins are slow to mature, and this time of year they may well not start until spring. I'd expect the Sussex to be laying, although I was never impressed with their laying much.

Do they free range?

Do you have pictures of them?

 

[Brahmaman]

Yes I let them free range about twice a week.

My buff lace is still not laying, she will be a year old in January. They free range but only with my eyes on them.
