Dh bought chickens a few months ago and they weren't full grown so we're still waiting on them to lay eggs. We were told though that they should have started 2-4 weeks ago.
Truly at a loss, I asked if we needed to give them chicken Clomid or something.
I feel like I belong in a group of "you know you've been there when...".

Are we sure they aren't young roosters? That would be a pretty good reason for their infertility!

@lizzywiz: hahaha! I didn't consider telling them to relax. Genius!

I think you should give them each an adopted store bought egg, that will make them lay!

@Mrs. Polish: ok, first hurdle cleared. Now are they charting?

"What is this relax that you speak of?"
Yes, this one is a rooster. No ovary here. Fun fact, chickens only have one ovary.

@Mrs. Jacks: teaching them to temp is the real challenge.

@Mrs. Polish: Sorry, did I go too far? Not sure I worded that well. It was all in good fun, like the rest of the comments...

@Mrs.Someone: oh no! My omg was a laugh. I wish I had thought to suggest that because we hear that alllllll theeeee tiiime. In fact, if you took a survey of everyone we know, I should probably be 11 months pregnant now because that's when we started the process.

You could try trigger shots to induce ovulation but then would your eggs be considered organic?

@Mrs. Train: I have to find out if interventions are against their religion first.

All of you better stop laughing at these chickens! It's not funny when it's one of us, but when it's these poor chickens, we're all "har,har,har!" #chickenproblems #youdontknownuthinboutthat

Have they tried the "Rooster Meets Chicken Plan" Are they dtd every other day or less frequently?
Chicken sex lives are definitely more interesting than mine is, lol

@TurtleDoves: we're trying to trouble shoot what the problem might be. What if they have too much grain in their diets? We're being HELPFUL.

@lemondrop: another fun fact, they only have to DTD once a month. It's that good.

Hahaha I love this thread, definitely made me laugh! I definitely know more about chicken ovulation then I ever cared to!
blogger / nectarine / 2010 posts
@Mrs. Train: yeah. I feel like I know as much about chicken reproduction as I do my own.

Leave some wine in the coop and tell them to "just get drunk and have fun."
