ALL my girls, English and SOP, have laid by 6 1/2 months, and they are very large. Must be the "Eye Of Newt" I feed.My biggie girls are almost 31 weeks and no eggs yet. It's definitely a study in patience compared to getting hatchery stock.But their gorgeousness makes up for the wait.
Who ever suggested the name is on this thread and i like the name soooo, she is called BELLA!
I am frequently checking under bushes and their little hidey holes but so far- nada. The younger set is of a different line and they are 21 weeks now and they are also not laying. I have EEs at 21 weeks and they are not laying either. I have the worst luck. I have laying ducks too and half of them are not laying for me and they are all around 30 weeks too. My chickens get Flockraiser, fresh water from a nipple waterer and free choice oyster shell. They get to free range and these days very little scraps if any. My ducks are on pricey Mazuri waterfowl feed and free choice oyster.
Try adding 1/4 cup a day of Calf Manna to each chicken's feed.
Thank you! I hit the feed store tomorrow and will look for this!
