bronze Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Do some hens just never lay eggs? I ask because Betty never has. She has a permanent limp and I've always wondered if that was a sign of something more serious that may have happened before I got her whetherit was in the egg or after. Is there any hope of her ever laying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Anyone? Ive seen the thread about 6/8 weeks and not laying but I got Betty in January and still nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I'm sure I have seen postings from people that have had to wait much longer than that. Perhaps it is something to do with the breed. Most of us have hybrids that are bred to lay lots of eggs but pure breeds are different? I know I am not much help but didn't want you to think we were ignoring you! Hopefully now you have bumped this back up someone with more knowledge than I will see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Whoops just noticed the 'X' so she is a hybrid - that blows my theory then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
