Trying to figure out why I have 8 month old pullets that are NOT laying yet .
Could feeding more greens help with better egg production ?
They eat plenty of laying pellets and have treats and plenty of fresh water DAILY . ANY HINTS FROM THE PRO'S ?
I have RIR'S , buff orpingtons ( that areonly 3 months old ) they are excluded , black austrolorps , barred rocks , EE'S , nad MAYBE 6 out of close to 100 are laying . I raised majority this flock from a week old and got them back in April . DO THE MATH . they are close to 8 months old .
MOST i have ever picked was 6 eggs ( one day ) , and I mean it happened 1 day . usually 4 or 5 eggs , and this is not happening because of fall/winter months or lack of daytime hours ... this has been happening ALL summer .
