Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nadda. Not one.
I am SO bummed! I am new to this chicken world, and have been slowly building a little motley flock. I had two hens who were laying an egg each, nearly every day. Then, a little over a week ago, I purchased four new hens, two of which were said to be laying. All four are quite young, but the seller, who is a local woman, who I have reason to believe to be reputable, was sure that two of them had begun to lay. Then, as I have mentioned in another thread, I have acquired a small polish hen, who was quite sick when she came, but is on the mend. She has been kept apart from her future coop-mates.
For a few days after the introduction of the four new hens, my two senior (in terms of residence, not age - they are under a year) hens continued to present their offering of two eggs a day. But, for the past 4 days, I have been greeted by blank stares from hens, full of egg-maker, but void of eggs. Sigh. I think the new hens have persuaded my hens that they don't really have to bother with all that egg-laying stuff, if they don't feel like it. Brats. LOL.
