Cube mk2 and WIR

Hey folks, me here again

 

It seems our one chook Daisy lays every other day and the other chook Cilla manages to lay every day

 

Is this "normal?" What can we do to get Daisy to lay every day

[*al]

It sounds normal to me. Some hens lay every day and, as you've discovered, some don't.

I don't think there's much you can do about it - they lay when they want!

Yes they will lay when they want or not as our two have shown

 

Rose lays most days but Mickey hasn't laid an egg for months now

 

PS Nice to see another chicken owner in Wolverhampton Thought we were the only ones

I get a 3 egg day once or twice a week, other than that its usually 2 (and occasionally 1) so every few days one of them is having a rest. I've come to accept this as normal although if they all laid every day I could give more away which is what I was hoping to do.

I guess we're just lucky. Once the girls got started, they now lay every day - lovely big brown eggs. However, at least I will know not to worry if they stop their every day habit.

We did find that they started laying really well once we switched from layers pellets to layers mash - they love their hot mash every morning - beaks are going into the feeder before it's even attached to the run!

I think a lot of chooks will lay every day - Barbara and Tomisina lay large brown eggs, Jerryldene probably lays 5 out of 7 days, and we dont even talk about the prima donna saphhires

I wouldn't know, I haven't had an egg yet, unless you count the one with no shell

Do ex battery hens lay less then?
