HungryOH Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I have a free ranging (back garden) reverse Sussex that has now not been laying for a couple of months. She is 18months old, recently wormed, not moulting and not laying elsewhere. Are there any 'tricks' to bring her back into lay ? I read about keeping her under an old apple crate (who has those these days) during the day for a few days - does that work ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindafw Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I have an ordinary buff Sussex, her laying is definitely tailing off...she didn't lay through last winter so am assuming that she is 'shutting down' for a rest! If in doubt I always give a bit of poultry spice..it perks up the Laying ladies and boosts the non laying girls making them all look more sprightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
