Not laying at 7.5 months

[rosemarysugar]

Hello,

I have a brown/red Americana who is not laying and is almost 8 months old. Is this normal? Thank you.

Can you post some pics?

Are you positive she's not laying?
Here's how to tell....

Is she truly a purebred Ameraucana...or an Easter Egger from the farm store??
EE's don't always lay blue/green eggs.
Yes, pics would help immensely.

Additionally, if she's purebred from show lines, she may be late coming into lay. My one small group of (beautiful!) black Ameraucana pullets started laying at ELEVEN months of age!

I special ordered her from Murray mcmurray as an Americauna. I'm not sure if that would mean purebred or not. I cant get this darn picture to upload. My daughter is going to try in a bit.

You've most likely got an Easter Egger then. And she may not be laying a blue/green egg if she has started laying. I'd recommend putting her in her own pen for a few days. Then you'll know if she is laying or not for sure. And you'll also know what color egg she is laying if she is laying.
