I have a pair in the stock loft that have been sitting for 4 days with the hen and cock swaping turns--- no eggs at all and they will even fight you about the nest. Whats the deal ? and this is one of the pairs that lost there squabs to the snake if that makes a difference.

I have had this, make sure they are getting grit and all that and that they have a full nest bowl (straw or wood chips...) Mine have done this simply because they didn't think they had a good place to do so..

It is possible for a hen to get eggbound, bit if she is acting like shes supposed to and ACTING normal than its not that! Like kopesta said just feed the right and U'll be fine! hope this helps...

She is still a little young! I'm thinking about 9 mo is when I start expecting them to lay! If she does lay sooner, check the eggs with a flashlight after 5 or 6 days and see if you see blood veins! If you don't, chunk them! Not unusual to have duds on the fist round when their that young!
