I'm having a slight dilemma with my four Chickens. I bought them from a Farm 8 Weeks ago, and the Farmer checked them using 2 fingers and said they were almost ready to lay.



He said about 4-5 weeks. None of my hens have laid an egg yet though.


I've been providing grit in their food and separate grit on the floor. They are on pellets and I treat them with corn, bread, biscuits etc.


they are about 25 weeks old now.....I'm perplexed.
I do not have any grass in the coop, and ive been thinking that this is a reason why. I was thinking of spreading fast growing grass seed in parts of the coop, or perhaps buying rolls of grass every few weeks. but do chickens lay eggs without grass?


I know chickens need grass for the bright yolk but i don't think it's a necessity is it?

Any help appreciated.
