hopingforchickens Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I rehomed Fran my bantam Maran a few weeks ago, she will be roughly around 30 weeks, the first week we got her she laid her first ever 3 eggs, since then we've had nothing. She's really healthy (or at least I think she is), all of my other hens are laying, she's wormed and there's no red mite. Any thoughts? Do I just have to be patient?

chicken bark Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I think they do that sometimes, start laying then stop and eventually settle into laying more regularly. The weather may be playing a part and she may have started to lay then stopped for Winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
