jomo1972 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Can anybody help with this? I have a former batt hen who has just plain stopped laying. She came from a battery farm and was laying quite well but then she was attacked by a fox and all the others that I had were killed by flystrike. She was alone for a few weeks so I bought some pedigree hens which hardly lay at all as far as I can tell. But the former batt hasn't laid since then. I can't understand it. At the height of July she should be laying almost one a day. She has fully recovered from the fox attack and doesn't show signs of flystrike.

Christian Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Maybe the shock has stopped her laying or she has just stopped for good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomo1972 Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 do hens stop laying for good then? I thought the shock would put her off but this has been weeks now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
