sam42 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 One of our chickens moulted and stopped laying and one of the others stopped laying in sympathy! However, after about 6 -7 weeks she has decided to lay again. I assumed she wouldn't lay until the spring. Any ideas why. Nice to be back to two eggs most days though.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 No idea! But lucky you, getting eggs again. I think the little blighters just please themselves - they probably know we get our knickers in a twist waiting for eggs and hold off laying deliberately .
