BeckyBoo Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Anyone got any idea why our leghorn has stopped laying? She arrived the same time as the others, from the same breeder, after about two weeks she laid us three eggs and has never laid again! She seems fine, she's happy, a bit flighty and I noticed today has a few feathers pulled from her tail, but she free ranges with the others just no eggs. And we'd really like some cos when she DID lay they were perfect china white eggs. Any ideas would be welcome, mabe it's what leghorns are like but I thought they were supposed to be fairly prolific layers... Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 sounds to me like she could be moulting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Have you searched the garden? if she's freeranging she might have made herself a little alternative nest in a flower bed or under a shrub! Also, they can stop and start a bit at first. If she's happy, mingling and eating I wouldn't worry (just check the garden though!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 DEFINITELY check the garden! I found 8 earlier this week in the same spot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
