Title: Chicken and No eggs???
Post by: Tommy54321 on April 15, 2023, 06:56

Hello.
I brought some chickens a week ago, 3 of them and not a single one of them have laid an egg yet. I feed them, I provide water and occasionally give some treats but no eggs....should I be waiting a little longer for them to settle in?? They seem happy enough.
Thanks

Do you know how old they are?  If you bought them as POL or point of lay, they should be about ready to start, although it can take an extra few weeks before they actually produce any eggs.
