Eggless Chicken?

Is my girl doomed to not ever lay eggs? Her waddle never came in the way the other girls’ did, and the other two have both been laying for three months now. She’s never had any other health issues except for poultry lice, which I treated with ESP four months ago. Haven’t noticed any more on her.

If you have shrubs that would make decent hiding spots for a nest, I’d check around your yard too JIC. I had an olive egger that looked exactly like your girl - I thought she had just stopped laying for a while, until I found a huge nest of her eggs in a far off corner of the yard. Just a thought!

Same!! I have to go on an Easter egg hunt every so often in the warmer months. 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄
