Hi all,
Would anyone be able to tell me if they think this chicken is more than a year old? Or older? I think I was duped by a chicken breeder who told me the two chickens I bought were less than 6 months old. They were supposed to be laying already and I haven't seen an egg yet. It's been a week. They are supposedly Isa Brown Hybrids. I did some reading and based on what I learned, I'm pretty sure these chickens are not 6 months old. This is one of two.

I can not tell the age.
Give her more time to get settled into her new home.
Moving a chicken to a new place is stressful and stress will cause them to temporarily stop laying.

Welcome to BYC!!

Show a pic of whole birds so we can see their plumage.
It's pretty hard to tell age of bird after about 6 months.
Ditto Kiki on the stress of the move and change in feed can stress them out and they may not lay for a couple weeks or more.
Do you have other birds?

Just read your intro post......I would think with your years of experience you would have a good idea of how old this bird is...much better than us who can't touch her??
