Getting My Marans to lay....hope I don't have to give a demostration?

[cluckcluckluke]

My Marans are about 16 weeks old, how do I go about getting them to lay or will they know when it's time?


Also I have a Wyandotte pullet who is 20 weeks old but has no comb or wattles or no real sign of development, she obviously isn't laying so how do I get her to lay?

Just give it time. They'll get there soon enough. It sure is a test of patience, though!

Should I lock them in the nesting shed for a bit to show them were to lay?

It is really frustrating.lol.

they'll lay when they are ready. as long as they are getting the rightt nutrition and daylight hours then there's not much else you can do.

that being said, marans are somewhat known for taking longer than other breeds to begin laying. i'd give them a couple more months before i got frustrated at 'em
