Brahma hen who never laid an egg

[HensJoy]

Some hens are infertile or barren just as some humans are. She can still live a completely normal life, just without ever laying.

What bred of hen do you have a picture of in your posting? I have a two hens that are very similar in appearance. I had gotten them and was told they were where a year old, about 6 months ago and one has never, to my knowledge laid an egg. Of the two two hens I received at the time, which appeared to be the same breed, one lays an green egg every other day, but the other has not laid any. Is this normal? She seems healthy otherwise. She is the bossiest hen in the flock of four.

My profile photo? Easter Egger in front, Welsummer in back. From your description your green layer is likely an EE that lays green or an Olive Egger.

How certain are you about their background info? It's possible you got one hen that's older and already stopped laying, or possibly she's just a dud. Since days are starting to lengthen if she's going to lay at all it should be in early spring, but if she doesn't start laying at that point then it's possible she won't lay at all.
