I have 4 hens that are the same age (22 ish weeks) and only one is laying. She started almost 2 weeks ago. I'm new to this so I'm not sure what to expect. Is it different for different breeds? I have 6 RIR hens that are approaching 18 weeks and should be laying soon? I've been giving them oyster shell and laying pellets once my white leghorn started laying. I also used plastic easter eggs in the nesting boxes which seemed to work fairly well. Is there something I need to do differently? Or just be patient?
