Trapper Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Bought a new chicken (Amberlink) to go with my other girls 3 weeks ago and she was already happily laying. Now nothing for the past week. We have not changed their diet or anything else and only give treats at weekends. Could it be that she is just getting used to her new surroundings and has stopped due to the change in coop.

Egluntyne Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Could be. Are they free ranging and is she laying her eggs under a shrub? Has she been wormed recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapper Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 All birds recently vacinated and wormed. They do free range but due to the time of year can see most things in our garden. During the week they stay in their coop so not much chance of finding eggs else where. Thanks for reading and thinking of advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Maybe it is just move related then. I'm sure she will get back into her stride. PS No evidence of egg eating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
