I just purchased 3 Black Copper Maran hens on September 21st from a local Swap/Sell meet at Tractor Supply. They are around 6 to 7 months old and just were starting to lay.
I have them quarantined in a very comfortable space in my barn and they seemed to have settled in nicely. I’ve have received a total of 3 eggs between them and that was within the first 2 days I had them. Since then not a one of them has layed! So it’s been a bit over a week now and not one single egg amongst the 3 of them. They seem and look healthy, no mites. What do you think the problem could be that they just aren’t laying?
