Why is Baby (Pekin) not laying yet?
« on: June 05, 2011, 18:06 »
I was told she was 29 weeks old when I got her.  She was a bit smaller than her sister but 9 weeks later and still nothing.  The other Pekin started laying after 2 days and Maj, the Banty Orpington started at 34 weeks.  I have searched the garden and she isn't laying away.  Does anyone have any ideas?  :(

she may have been younger then if she was smaller in size, or she could be just a late developer.
Staffies are softer than you think.

She was fully feathered when I got her but did act like a baby (hence name change) and used to jump on my knee and snuggle under my arm, so maybe she was a bit younger AND a late developer.  The other Pekin has been broody for a few weeks now and acts like a maniac everytime she is moved out of house.  She runs up and down the garden flapping her wings and barging into the others.  Think will give her a few more days and then try the Broody cage as the weather is a bit better now.  :D
