GKH Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hi i have 3 ex-bats which i have had since May last year and up until the really cold weather i was getting lots of eggs.

chelsea Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 mine have only just started laying since their winter break. Spring/warmer weather usually brings hens into lay so it shouldnt be too long now. How old are they? Do you know? They may have retired Have they been wormed recently? A course of worming might help boost them along if they havent been wormed for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKH Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 i wormed them a couple of months back - so i could do that again. i'm guessing they would have only 'lived' at the battery farm for a year or 18months. So i guess about 2 1/2 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
