Seagazer Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I think it depends on what type of chicken she is. If she is a hybrid then they tend to produce more eggs so get worn out sooner. I thought that 3 was about the age that the egg production would ease up. I may be wrong though. I take it you've wormed them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helenmb Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I stopped getting eggs from my hens when they reached about 3 sadly. So just made more space and bought some new girls to take over from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Has she been wormed? If not, it might be worth giving her a course of Flubenvet. At three, she could have arrived at the hennopause. They do start to taper off with their laying from around then. It might also be worth having a good check for lice and mites as these can have an impact on laying. If you keep her on layers pellets and cut back on free ranging and treats it might also help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
