Stargazeypie Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I've had two partridge brahma's and a crested legbar since March. all three were laying when I bought them, but one brahma went broody for about three weeks and the other seemed to stop laying at the same time, even though she didn't go broody. now neither of the brahma's have layed an egg in two months. the broody one did have lice which I treated and seem to have gone. I can't understand why neither of them are laying, they seem happy enough and I can't find any nests in the bushes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 They could be what I call "semi-broody". My cochins are like it every summer. My 2 go broody on and off for months, it could be that your brahmas are not yet ready to lay because they will go broody again any time soon. Have you wormed them recently? If not, a course of flubenvet might get them going again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargazeypie Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Thanks Chelsea, have put in an order for flubenvet and will try worming them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
