I have 3 hens and only one is laying, she has been laying for about 5 weeks now and has started laying one everyday rather than one every other day like started. All 3 are about 24 weeks old now. Is this just a matter of time before they start to lay or should be doing something to help them along? They eat layers pellets with a little mixed corn. Also the hen that lays is also the only hen to roost!!! Any advice would be appreciated x

24 weeks is still quite young so I wouldn't be unduly worried yet . You'll just have to play the waiting game, I'm afraid .

Thanks for that, some people i know look at me funny when i say they are not laying yet. I thought at 24 weeks they're still only young girls and nothing to worry about, just needed to check to put mind at ease and look after my girls. Thanks again

One of my hybrids was about 30 weeks before she started laying, and out of my pure breeds only 1 has started laying and they are all between 28 and 30 weeks old. So be patient

It never hurts to worm them if you haven't already done so (Flubenvet) but I may well just be down to age.
