D'Angelo N Va. :

I am not sure of the age actually because they were grown when I got them...but one hen was on a clutch of eggs so the lady said when she sold her to me at the poultry show last fall..and she said she should be laying again in a couple of weeks, this was in August..and the two new hens I got were hatched out late summer of last year....I feed the layer pellets like I feed the hens, is that not high enough protein? I will check on the protein levels on the bag and get back with you.... Thanks so much.

If they were hatched out late summer last year,that only make them about 7-8 months right? Be patient,it will happen probably in April.

ok....well I don't want to rush my life away, but come on April. Thanks.

My Scovies are late this spring too. I didn't change the feed or anything and the last 3 years they started end of feb middle of march, so far nothin this year........ My geese on the other hand are over a month early in starting to lay this year. Been collecting from them since beginning of Feb.

My Swedish Ducks haven't layed a single egg yet either..... but the pekins that are only 4 months old and I just picked up last sunday that only got fed empty seed hulls at their previous owner are laying.... go figure.
