Wheaton old English bantams not laying at all ?

[Alexis_8966]

About 6 months ago I bought a trio of Wheaton old English bantams. Females seem to be related and a non related rooster and since I had them not a single egg ? I have 2 serama hens almost as tiny and they lay every once and a while, so that’s why I’m wondering why the old English don’t lay anything.I was told they are over a year old (6 months ago )

If it's winter OEGBs don't usually lay. Mine aren't laying right now due to the cold weather.

Is it possible they might be younger, or older then what you were told?

With that weather they should be laying.

They appear to have a pretty bad case of Scaly leg mites on their feet, & toes.

How do I cure that ? Could that be the reason ?

It could be.

Washing their legs in soap and water, & slathering in petroleum Jelly, or vaseline.
