AnnwithoutanE Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hi Our two girls have not laid an egg between them for about the past 3 weeks. Their combs have gone very pale and they have both moulted but other than that they seem to be healthy and eating as normal. Is this normal at this time of year? Any suggestions on how to get back to real eggs because the shop bought ones are awful by comparison! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Once they feather up they should start laying again. I'd keep them on good quality layers pellets with a bit of added protein such as dolphin friendly tuna (rinsed), chick crumbs, organic cat food (non poultry based) and they should feather up again nicely.

jade&mike Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 poultry spice added to their food will really help, it always works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 It sounds like the seasonal slow down, normal for winter. Lack of light and low temperatures sorry. Resumes in spring Buffie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
