Peahen not laying

[old biddy]

My peahen, Anastasia, laid 20 eggs last year...starting in March 16, 2018. This year, almost a month later than last year, she has not yet started laying. Should I worry?

How old is she?

How old is she?

She is approximately 5 years old. We hatched out 8 peachicks from her last year. It was her second year laying. I was anticipating an even more prolific hatching this year but she has not started laying yet.

I don't know if it will make you feel better or not, but bunch of mine haven't started laying either.

Out of 91 mature hens I only have two that just started this week.

Well I am still waiting for my peahen, Anastasia, to start laying. I hope she is okay...she seems to be fine...looks good. Just not interested in starting another family yet. Every night when I tuck her in I say, "Now Anastasia, I want you to lay an egg tonight." But the next morning - nothing. Sigh. Maybe tonight is the night.

My mom one pen has been producing some, but I still have many that are not laying.
