My 2 chickens in the Honeyside garden in Riften...
Why won't they lay eggs?

Dreyla's cabin has a couple of chickens behind it...they made lovely nests on the ground and laid eggs, why not mine?

The Honeyside chickens are very cute and I look forward to seeing them every time I come home, but I want the eggs! (resist magic, waterbreathing, damage magicka regeneration, lingering damage stamina)

Well.... there's not a good "place" for them - hens which lay eggs other places have a nice lean-to with nests....

Perhaps they're just nervous about producing something that weighs half a pound, when they appear to only weigh about 3x that. I mean that's got to hurt.

What are you feeding the chickens? Do the chickens have a quiet, safe place to lay? How old are the chickens and what breed? We need more information before giving you a solid answer.

Where's the rooster??

skyrim hens can self fertilize much like sea snails.

wait, u can have chickens? how??? I want some kfc now.. . . .

theyre not laying eggs because there probabley scared witless of you, i mean, if your gonna urn around them harrasing them and yelling "lay eggs NOW" there gonna be a bit peeved
