Omlet hens and egg production

Recommended Posts

Well a few threads lately have got me thinking. I have three Omlet girls a year ago now so they must be 18months old now. I am wondering approx how much longer should I expect egg production to go on for. I get 2 - 3 eggs every day at the moment.

She had a moult - lots of feathers flying about but not really drastic and she never started laying again! I've give up now, she's happy and healthy and still runs round the garden like a mad thing so I'm not too worried. Although she now has fat, yellow legs :lol: quite a difference to Opal's legs.

My two gingernuts laid for 2 years then died :( However my Pepperpot is into her 4th year of laying and showing no signs of slowing down! She's still laying an egg a day! :shock: Except now she has one day off a week, rather than one day off a month :lol:

My Omlet hens vary greatly. Chicken Licken hasn't laid an egg for months :roll:

Ginger and Peppa produce between 8 - 12 eggs a week at the moment.

 

They've been laying for about 21 months, 18 eggs a week for the first year but then it started to drop off. Ginger has moulted , Peppa is having a bit of a moult, Chicken Licken is just a free loader!

 

I'm having to buy eggs in when I have baking for school fairs etc to do :?
