Hello,
I can't seem to find an answer.
Last April 11th 2011, I bought a 3 day old Silkie and a 5 day old EE. I hand raised both and later, I bought three six month old hens of various breeds. These last three have all started laying eggs. They started last fall. However, the two that I raised from chicks have shown no signs of laying eggs.
They never go into the nesting boxes (I have a golden Silkie that has been laying since November and she is broody). They are not showing signs of wanting to lay eggs.
I just can not figure out why they are not laying. I am beginning to think I raised some spoiled girls. LOL
Anyone have and idea why this is?
Thanks
