If you free range you might want to be on the look out for hidden nests.

Mine have one large nest box low to the floor so my broody hens won't have chicks falling out or climbing out.I have nest boxes scattered out.They have one nest box in a chicken tractor but noones used it yet

It's early times. Give them time! Chickens need to grow before they get fertile. Probably all the energy is going into growing!

They started laying a little over a week ago! All 3 barred rocks are laying eggs now

I don't know if all of mine are laying yet but out of 21 chickens I'm getting 8-12 eggs a day
