Dora Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 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 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
