JPalmer Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hi, I got my first chickens (all Polands) in the beginning of August. They were about 6-8 weeks old when I got them and two ended up being cockerals (sigh). I have one hen but she still hasn't layed one egg. I figured she wouldn't until next year sometime. But I have seen people on here that have been getting eggs still so are any Poland owners getting any eggs if so what could be the issue with mine?? I have put in grit in containers in the eglu but doesn't seem to attract any attention haven't had to fill it up in ages. Any ideas???? Thanks for all your help in advance!

Cinnamon Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 My Poland stops laying over the winter months,& deservs her well earned rest,as she is a super layer in the spring & summer You will probably find that yours will lay come Easter time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPalmer Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Thats fine I can wait that long! I didn't get her for the eggs just cause she is a beauty! But was just wondering if that was pretty normal thanks for the reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txswanie Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Hi, I have a 5 month Polish and we are not sure of the sex. No sign of broody behavior but also no crowing. What age do Polish generally start to lay? thanks Colette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackthelad Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I have 2 polish girls and both are moulting and haven't layed for the last couple of months so you are not the only one without eggs!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 My Olive will be two in August. She has never ever laid an egg She's never grown any sort of comb or wattles or gone red in the face. I still love her more than all the others though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I have several Polish girls. In my experience they are late to start, but prolific when they get going - at least between February and end of October. None of mine are laying now, but I'm expecting them to start again round about Valentine's day. Be patient - you will get eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my new girls arriving at the weekend is a Poland so I am very glad to hear this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 And one of mine started just before Christmas and the others look ready to go. As Tricia says, but unfortunately Griffin hasn't had this much luck, usually they are right little egg-laying troopers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
