Hello everyone.
I have an odd situation going on with my blue Australorp Blueberry who is nearly seven months old. She laid her first egg just over 7 weeks ago and has not laid since. We did have to take her rooster buddy away a couple days afterwards as he finally started to crow and we can’t keep roosters where we are. I was worried about her being alone so I did introduce her to 4 five week old and 2 six week olds chicks though was having to keep them separated as when they where together she would try peck them. She is okay with them now as they are nearly 14 and 15 weeks old now. But we have not had a egg from blueberry since. I assume that it’s because she’s not happy with the little one and will get over it. Everyday she sits in the nest box for 15-30 mins and practices her egg song still. But I’m wondering if there could be some other reason as to why she’s not laying, any advise, or do I just have to wait until they all get along and establish a pecking order.?
