I am curious about why my one Easter Egger hen has laid no eggs since we got her two weeks ago. We were given 3 adult hens to go with our two white Leghorns (1 hen, 1 roo). The Leghorns are dominant so it's like having two small flocks right now, but the Welsummer and the Appenzeller Spitzhauben both lay 3 to 4 eggs a week, while my EE still has not layed at all. She likes to stay in the coop and roost most of the time, but does come out now and then to forage either by herself or with the other two new hens, she also does not sit in a nest at all, so I don't think she is broody or egg bound (not that I really know anything about that anyway). Perhaps she is old? She seems to be low man on the totem pole, as she is so mellow, but she seems healthy.
Just wondered if anyone who has a lot of experience can enlighten me.
