Here she is, she was born/hatched last spring 2012. She hasn't layed any eggs yet. I got her from a farmer in Kenosha along with Tallulah (in the background to the right). Tallulah (who is the same age) started laying last October and has been non-stop, even through the winter. After searching on line I came to the conclusion, she was getting ready to lay but then the colder weather set in and shorter days so she has been postponed. She is a black star chicken, not much info on line on black stars really. She squats and let you pet her on the back, a sign of laying eggs, but she has been doing that for months. She eats well, friendly, gets along with the flock and very healthy. So stay tuned, it's getting warmer and the days longer, so she should lay her first egg soon (I hope). I read that it is extremely unusual for a chicken not to lay eggs.
