Eyren Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 She's very pretty - I love the partridge-style stripes on her plumage, and those white earlobes are fantastic! Could be a number of reasons why she's stopped laying - she might be about to start moulting (not usual this time of year, but not impossible), or she could just be a bit unsettled by the move and the nasty weather. Leghorns aren't known for their broodiness so probably not that. Best to just keep an eye on her and be patient! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatsCube Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Its prob the move. When Igot my leghorn she was laying but didnt lay for me for a few weeks, guessing it was the move. She now lays every other day. Is it possible she is laying softies and eating them? My White Star had a couple of weeks of laying softies, and Isaw her do it one day and the second it came out all the girls ate it within seconds.

CockADoodleDoo Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 yes it is probably the move mine didnt lay for 2 weeks after they moved in, one of mine is moulting at the mo so could be that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
