new chickens

[amandabo]

I know they can be picky but when will my new chickens get used to us and start laying for us. They are 9 months old.

Are you sure they are not laying eggs somewhere??? In the yard, corners of the coop etc....They can be sneaky!!!! I would think at 9 months old they would lay eggs....

How long have you had them?? Are they molting?? Are you sure they are 9 months old?? Sometimes people sell hens and they are older....Just some thoughts....

I agree. Do you have any pictures of them you can post?

are they girls? (cause if they're boys, you're going to be waiting a LONG time...) what breed?

 

[amandabo]

they are hens and I am a newbie to this chicken thing so I'm not sure of the breed. I know the ones I have are RIR and Dominique. These new ones are solid black. Even their feet are black.
