Help identify 3 chickens please

[henryhen]

Hi, thanks in advance! I bought 3 chickens sold as 3 egg laying Bantam hens. However, I've had them for 3 days and only 2 eggs. I'm wondering if I have a couple of roosters in there. Could you please identify the gender and type of chickens each of them are? There are 3 different ones. Thanks again!

They are all hen the first two look like a silver duckwing and the other is like a nakin

All hens. Looks like OEGB, possibly poor quality Dutch Bantam, and ? (maybe mixed breed).

All hens. Stress can cause a hen to go off-lay (moving would be considered stress). Also, it takes a hen 26 hours from the beginning of egg development to laying. Here's a great video I found on the subject.

First two are Silver Duckwing Old English Game bantams. Third is a Gold Sebright with very poor lacing. They are all hens, @Tycine1 is correct. The stress from moving/traveling/new housing/new sounds/new neighbors typically causes hens to stop laying for anywhere from a few days up to 3 months.

Thank you so much for the information.

OK, that actually makes sense. I can see that being a pretty traumatic event having been moved around. It seems like laying production is slowly improving. Thanks!

Hi, I appreciate the information and glad they are hens. You said: "Gold Sebright with very poor lacing". Could you please tell me what that means? I'm fairly new to the chicken world and am not familiar with that term. Thanks!

This is what a seabright with good lacing looks like. The black lines on the edges of the feathers of your bird aren't well defined.

@Redhead Rae posted a great pic. The lacing should go all the way around the edge of the feather. Yours is just laced on the very tip of the feathers.
