I have a friend who recently embarked on rearing local chicken.The hens have started laying eggs but there are two hens which are not laying eggs. Is there any cases of barren chicken?
I would say that it would be kinda hard for a chicken to be barren in the way that you are using it. A hen is like a woman, but instead of having “monthlies” a hen has “dailys” or at the most “weeklies” so, a barren woman typically still ovulates, but just doesn’t get pregnant, a hen not laying eggs isn’t ovulating either which should indicate a problem.
Now, being a late bloomer makes sense, but not living a life without ovulating (though it would be awesome if that could work with people)Do you let your chickens free range? If you do,she could be laying outside the coop somewhere. Ameracauna chickens are not supposed to lay every day anyway.
However, Some pullets take longer than others to start producing eggs, so it’s still early times. I have had one pullet, years ago, who never produced an egg, and had a fatal uterine problem. Very rare, fortunately. Your hen is just late.
