foreveryoung Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 hello My girls have 110% stoped laying! Ive had them for about 2 years (all the days'months and even year have seemed to roll into one lol) Their no more then 3 years old, they actually stopped just after the 5th november! not one egg since!! Although Im sure that the break will do them wonders but they've never stoped this long.? I cant believe im having to buy eggs from the supermarkets!!

Christian Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 they have been on a really bad molt! they looked almost plucked!! Give them some extra protein Emma and their feathers will grow back quickly. Rinsed tuna is good. They should start laying after they have moulted, but the moult does take a lot out of them.
