egglaying

[chickeneer45]

i have had my chickens for three months now. one of the chickens laid an egg the first night i had her and she still hasn't laid one since. i m pretty sure she isnt molting. any help would be great

How old are they? What is their diet? Is there a light in the coop?

 

[chickeneer45]

the one that laid an egg on the first night is at least a year old, she only eats normal food pellets and there isnt a light

Is she eating normally? Does her abdomen look swollen (could she be egg-bound)...

I would double check for any hidden nests and also make certain they are getting enough protein and that they do not have mites. Those issues are all very common. Another factor could be that chickens need at least 14 hour of light minimum to lay so without a light in the coop many stop laying this time of year.
