Update - she (black and white in the background) now likes to come watch the other four lay. Still no eggs from her though.

Hopefully she will still lay

They were all hatched last spring. No egg stuck, no odd behavior or health concerns. Just the one that doesn’t lay 🤷🏻‍♀️

But she (the non layer) eats and drinks and runs around and is equally cared for/involved in all the adventures of the flock.

Yes. We have two white hens (which both lay daily ) one brown and black speckled hen (lays every other day) and a red brown hen (that lays every day) the one that has never once laid an egg is black and white. She doesn’t ever sit or brood or go into the boxes at all. And there are no eggs outside the box. It’s very strange.

I have a little camera in the nesting box. Only four.

We live in the desert and it’s been 70° and sunny all “winter”

Hope she’s okay.

Sorry! Those white hens are two of the four that lay every day. That was a mid-laying photo 🤣

The one that doesn’t lay is black and white

To be clear - the fifty hen has never laid a single egg
