speckled hen Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hi everyone Just a quick question. Is it possible that Colin dying has caused the girls to stop laying eggs? They have only laid 2 since he died, we normally have 5 a day. It is all I can think of, they seem well and are eating and drinking normally.

Patricia W Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 My instinct is yes, but then I'm sentimental. I suppose it is that time of year when they stop. I hope they soon get over it - whatever the cause Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 It probably could do, due to stress. Maybe give them some extra protein and limestone flour and see if it helps. As Tricia sais, it could be because the winter is coming and days are getting shorter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 You can also put a few drops of bach rescue remedy in their water as this helps with upset too. Your poor girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckled hen Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Oh I have some of that I will put some in the water. We have just changed the hemcore and cleaned up all the feathers that Colin had left behind. We thought nice fresh bedding would be good for them, I know I always like a nice freshly made bed!!
