rufusrooster Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Gene has been with us now for nearly 34 weeks, still no sign of any eggs , wouldnt be a problem if she wasn't top chook but she has to have sly pecks at the girls at the bottom of the pecking order just as they are walking by, as i recently lost my Welbar i'm thinking of replacing Gene with 2 egg layers. i'm going to give her till the end of March i think, if still no eggs thats it, she's out !

abwsco Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 My Welsummers hatched at the end of June have only just started laying so it's quite possible that's she's just a late developer. I've also got a CLB who hasn't laid an egg since last September and personally I couldn't rehome her just because she's not laying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I have a Speckled Sussex who has only just come into lay at 45 weeks, so don't give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 A couple of mine were over 30 weeks before they started, so I agree, don't give up yet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 And at the grand old age of 13 months one of mine is about to lay too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rufusrooster Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 And at the grand old age of 13 months one of mine is about to lay too there's hope yet then i suppose although by my deadline of end of March she will be at the very least 13 months old but more likely 15 months old if the age i was told when i bought her is correct.

Space Chick Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I have an Appenzeller that is a year old and hasn't laid yet, and is showing no signs that she's going to either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure she is just a late bloomer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
