Boris70 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Hi All, I rescued 3 ex-batts at the beginning of October and they kindly produced us 2-3 eggs a day. I was in hospital having our baby for 5 days and they stopped laying - now I thought it was due to me being away and them missing me (wishful thinking), but I've been back a month and giving them attention again - but still no eggs. I can remember watching Jimmys farm and his ex-batts stopped laying for a while - I think it's when they get a taste of what life can really be like - but any idea when approximately they start again? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 ours haven't stopped, the amount varies but on average we get a dozen a week, we have to keep giving them away as there's only me and DH and we can't keep up! So, I thought I'd have a google to see if I could help and did find this site http://www.downthelane.net/Page_35.html which says.. "For egg's, expect a few in the first couple of days, then none for quite a while. They take time to adapt..." I think we've been very lucky but maybe yours just need to settle in and get used to their new life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovemychooks Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Dont worry Boris70, even though i've got 6 ex-batts we sometimes get one or two eggs a day but can then go a few days with none !! They are probably having a rest for the winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
