There are a lot of factors that could keep her from laying and you named 2 major ones, stress and short days. Are you able to give supplemental lighting and/or heat?

Here is a picture of my two Cream Legbar pairs, the oldest on the right and the younger pair on the left.

I also got a video today and you can hear the legbar baby crow for the first time. It comes at the end after a little white Icelandic roo chases him into the coop. The first loud crow is my big isbar roo who is out of the picture.



Here is a picture of my Blue Isbar roo.

I don't know how old he is but it is the one with the bigger comb!

I wish GFF would have banded these guys at hatch so we knew how old they are. I am driving my Isbar pullets crazy constantly cornering them so I can get a good look at their faces. One of mine should be laying soon. Or I will need to be locked in a psych ward.
