new chicken 3 years old no eggs???

[zelica]

Ok so I got a 3 year old chicken from a friend while I wait for my little guys to grow up. I put 2 of my bigger little chicks in with her during the day and then put them in at night. She pretty much ignores them unless they get close to her food.

The guy I got her from said she likes to sit on her eggs so be careful I have had her a week and no eggs any ideas??


Thank you

Oh forgot to mention she is not super nice she runs if you get close and screams at you

Anyone have any idea??? Still no eggs. I added some of my babies with her today and she seems ok with them. Would really appreciate a response I am new to chickens

Chickens hate having their environment disrupted. It can take anywhere from a few days to weeks for them to resume egg laying.
