I know this probably isn't likely, but is there a way to tell how old a hen is? I think my friend and I were duped. We adopted 2 hens who we were told were 2 and 1 year olds. I have the alleged 1 year old, a copper maran mix. In 3 weeks she's laid 3 eggs. My friend has the 2 year old, full copper maran, and she hasn't laid anything in 3 weeks. We're beginning to think these girls are older than we were told and someone just didn't want to deal with culling. They are both healthy looking, just not producing anything.
