Hi there.
Last year in July I got a dozen chicks and 5 were Silkies. Well 3 were roos and the other "hen" died so there's one left. Its name is Wessel. Wessel is not laying any eggs and he (I call it a "he" for no reason ) is not crowing either. I'm fairly certain it is a female because there are no pointy feathers or anything but... there's no eggs!!
What could be the problem? And I know it is not jumping out because he is outside in a small pen all day and there's no eggs.
Wessel was always a bit off so I think he might have a brain problem or something but what has really gotten me stumped is why he's not laying any eggs.
Anyone have an idea?
