Guest Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Evangeline doesn't lay. She has the finest wattle and combs of all our chickens, and was the first to attempt laying - a couple of softies way back in July. Honeysuckle and Scarlett are laying more or less as clockwork every day, but Evangeline doesnt lay anything. I just wondered how common this is? I know that cluckbok has Pecky, who doesn't lay, but what are the experiences of other omleteers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alih Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 My Iggy doesn't lay....very often. She came in June at 17 weeks and has a crop problem I think which slows her digestion or something - her comb has never grown and she doesn't crouch. She laid one or two back in July and we have had 1 a month since. I have tried all the usual things and I think if she lived on nothing but pellets might lay a bit more but we have 3 other layers so I would rather she was happy with them than laying. It's weird though, as I thought all chickens laid sooner or later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
