JLC Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hi I bought 2 lovely chickens about 8 weeks ago, we where told they were 20 weeks old then, one, a colombian blacktail, has layed an egg every morning since then. The other a silver link hasn't started, they both have the same diet, layers pellets, corn, grit, plenty of greens and stuff. Anyone got any tips?

theherd123 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Time and patience are the key i think. Has your silver link started to crouch yet when you place your hand over her? This is a sign she is maturing and therefore may lay soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Perhaps she was a bit younger than you thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLC Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Thanks for advice, I think maybe she was not quite as old as her friend, I will try and be patient! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLC Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 She layed an egg!! a lovely white(slightly long and thin) egg, on wednesday morning, no sign of any more but feel much better as thought that she just might not lay at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
