Sounds like she needs to be stew an replace her.

Did she just go through a molt? Is it possible the person you got her from was wrong about her age? Does she have developed wattles?

My DSO had several of his hens go through a late molt. Then, the coop was very dark, and they didn't start laying again like he thought they should. Once he added a light in the coop so they had 14 hours of light each day, they started laying again.

IMHO - Don't cull a healthy bird until you explore all the possibilities. There is a little life at stake.

Does she have at least 14 hours of daylight?

I think temperature plays a part, too. Ours had more light than normal over the winter, they still didn't lay when it was really cold and now only one or two are laying. And they are all young hens, for the most part. If it gets to be spring, and warms up, that's when I'd start worrying, if she still doesn't lay. It seems you would notice some other symptoms by now if something were wrong internally.

They're beautiful. I hope someone helps you figure this out.

I know I've seen posts on here about chickens reacting to predators you don't know about...like a bobcat comes and tries to get in the coop at night and then no eggs because they are in panic mode.

Good luck.
