I was just wondering if Biscuit is going through her egg menopause? A couple of weeks ago she laid a softie, followed by a few proper eggs. Then she laid a couple of really small eggs with no yolk! Since then I dont think she's laid at all cos I'm only getting 1 egg a day and that is coming from her mate Ginger. I noticed at the weekend she appears to go into the eglu to lay - well she goes in for ages but when I check there is no egg. (bit like hubby disappearing into the bathroom with a magazine !! ) She is approaching being 3 and half - well they both are - I've upped the oyster grit and wormed them so are her egg laying days coming to an end ? She's happy enough in herself , dashing round the garden as usual following her mate in case she's missing out on something !!

Sounds like she could well be. My warren stopped laying last September - first she laid softies for a few days then nothing although she spent about an hour in the nest box. Checked for any problems but she was fit and healthy otherwise and aged two and a half she then just stopped laying.

 

She still bombs round the garden like a mad thing and sometimes goes to sit with the other girls when they're laying

I agree, sounds familiar - she's probably run out of steam as far as laying is concerned. I hope she continues to enjoy a long and happy retirement!

Thanks for that , yes she'll be able to enjoy her days in retirement however she likes - bit like her owner - I'm taking early retirement in the summer so we'll pootle round together !!
