My mom has a 1.5 year old D'Uucle that has not laid eggs in months. Not even real sure if she has ever. They used to have 2 banties and eggs were being hidden. Now they have moved and there is no hiding places and "Millie" has not laid. Any ideas on a hen never laying. She is not a roo, no crowing, no proper feathers.

It's rare but it is possible that she won't ever lay. I've heard rare cases of birds never giving an egg. Most people then convert those to meat birds.

I can't really help you. I am in the same boat. I have a glw that layed for a couple weeks last fall and hasn't laid since. No changes have been made to their environment. I will wait and see if she molts this fall (which will be her first) and see if that somehow kicks in the egg laying. If not, then I hope to give her away.
