I have 11 hens that hatched middle of April. They are approaching 7 months old and no eggs yet. Has anyone had a similar experience with April hatched birds starting their laying later than "normal." From some of the older threads I have read, I was expecting to see the first eggs at around 6 months.
I wonder if the fall weather (e.g., reduced temperatures and photoperiod) is holding them back physiologically to start laying.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
Thank you in advance.
