Leghorn hen with spurs dont lay

[dadsdeercamp]

My brown leghorn hen is one year old next month she has 3/4 inch spurs and she has never laid an egg what is going on?

 

[TheWaddler]

She a he maybe?

 

[ChickieBooBoo]

she looks awefully hen-ish to me, maybe she's hiding her eggs? I have hens with pretty long spurs too

 

[Break an Egg]

she doesn't look like a leghorn to me, maybe that's why you think you should be getting leghorn eggs (white) but you are actually getting brown eggs from her, she looks like a welsummer

 

[dadsdeercamp]

she eats the oyster shell and sits in the nest box but never leaves me an egg.

Forgive me, but does she have white earlobes? I thought Brown Leghorns were suppose to have white earlobes.

She's got so little comb development that I suspect she's got hormonal issues.

Maybe its hormonal? I have a Buff Orp with spurs, I even thought she was a he for the longest time! She lays daily, dark large brown eggs, even broody right now. Did you raise her from a chick? My buff only really got manly spurs after she turned 3!
