Our poor chickens are stealth chickens in the garage until we convince code enforcment that the code will be changed...long process and in the meantime we are looking for a farm to move to in ocala which is mostly ag properties.

It might explain the lack of eggs if they are old enough

They aren't getting enough sunlight by the sounds of it..you could try putting lights on in there that may spark up the egg production

Or withhold all treats until they do lay! treat...lay...treat ...lay..... nahh really I leave the door open most of the nice days with a breeze and only shut things down and turn on their a/c unless its stifling hot in there.
plus 2 big windows right above them. they are still youngish yet..maybe by next month we will get silkie eggs at least

i try withholding treats from mine when they go on strike never works because they are soo cute

How old are these ones?? Mine didn't start till about 8/9 months and they are banties.

 

[ChooksinChoppers]

The silkies are 5 months? I think and the one frizzle bantam hen is only 3 months.....miss Squishy will be back from the loo soon and will correct me i'm sure

 

[Nicola]

ohh Okay so you have a few months till you get some eggs, probably not till next spring

as mine refuse to lay in winter

i haven't had any eggs since......late december lol when they all went broody at the same time
