Hello,
I have a barnyard mix of chickens that are all under a year old. I know for sure I have 2 roosters and 2 hens. The other is still a mystery. They seem like full sized birds now, but there are no eggs being produced. I heard the roosters crow for the first time the other day and saw one attempting to mount one of the hens. I'm just curious, since the roosters seem to be coming of age, should the females be laying eggs now/soon? They get crumbles in the morning and free range in the evening.
I've had other batches of chickens in the same set up that laid just fine too.
