Miggy Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hi all, One of our 6 month old hens has just stopped laying. She shows no signs of ill health and is eating properly. The book we have suggests it may be to do with the shorter days but it was so sudden. She layed every day then just stopped and hasn't layed for a week. Her chum has carried on as normal. The book also says obesity can stop them laying, I admit she is chunky but looks normal to me. They spend the day in the garden digging so it cant be bordom or lack of exercise. Anyone any ideas?

Steve the Gas Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Maybe taking time off, starting a moult or stopping for winter depending on breed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I've gone from 5/6 eggs a day to two a day this week, all down to the shorter days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
