We have 5 black stars 7 months old. We consistently get 4 eggs per day, we thought 1 hen per day was not laying. Yesterday I was just watching them in the run and noticed one of them has a small comb and wattles that are light pink, part of her comb is still blackish that is what color they were when they were chicks. Also we have two external nest boxes there are always 4 eggs in one of the boxes and none in the other. Twice when they first started laying we got 5 eggs 4 in one and 1 in the other so I know she has laid at least two. Also we occasionally find an egg in the other nest but then there has only been 3 in the other, I think that one of the layers go there when the main box is being used.
I'm not sure what the problem what if anything is the deal is with her, could she be that late of a bloomer? She looks healthy besides her comb and wattles. If any one has any ideas or advice it would surely be welcome.
