Novice Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Could just be the weather. Try giving them dummy eggs to sit on then swap the eggs from another pair and let them rear the young. They should then lay normally---if not the hen could be barren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjc Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 she may just not be ready to lay yet, give her time and a change in the weather and she'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
