Hello!
So I'm very new to chicken keeping, I got 2 roosters in June last year then rescued a hen in around October.
1 roo sadly passed away, so I just have the 1 roo and 1 hen now.
Anyways, I've been eagerly anticipating her laying her first egg, which finally happened on Easter Sunday!!
Since then however, she hasnt laid anymore and the 1 that has been laid, they have buried it in their box and its absolutely freezing!! Shes not sat on it once.
1. Why hasnt she laid another egg in almost 48 hours? I thought they were supposed to lay every 24-27 hours?
2. Why isnt she sitting on it?
3. Should I remove it and incubate it or will it be useless now that it has been so cold for almost 48 hours?
Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading
EDIT: As she is a rescue, I have no idea how old she is. If anyone can tell her age from a picture, please can you tell me approx how old she is?
