My chicken layed her first egg Sunday (2 days ago). I've been expecting her to lay yesterday and today but she hasn't. Is something wrong?
Thanks for the reply. I believe the layer is a Barred Plymouth Rock.Howdy 19marvinn
The breed of chicken would be helpful in this case as some breeds are more prolific layers than others.
Having said that, I have found with all my new layers [bantams] it takes a while for the new layers to get their 'plumbing’ right and get into a routine etc and yes, having a break every so often when they are new to laying is not a cause for concern unless she is showing any signs of stress or illness.
Not as much as anymore. I had a hawk problem.Do you free range?
