paulad Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Well POL Gwen is happily still laying away - every day Our 3 exbats have stopped laying but they are all moulting and regrowing lots of lovely new feathers so im happy they are having a break our 2nd POL has stopped laying ?? Any ideas why ?? She stopped laying when we fitted her bumpa bit - she went into a massive strop and stopped eating - we refitted it and shes been eating again for over a week but still no eggs ?? Shud we be worried ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandychick Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I wouldn't worry too much. It's an odd time of year for eggs with moults, mini-moults, shorter days and colder weather which can all disrupt their egg laying. Both my hybrids decided to go on an egg strike for 10 days with no explanation other than a change in the weather and less daylight hours. Both are laying again this week. If she has been wormed recently and looks happy and healthy, I'm sure she will decide to lay again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulad Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Ok thats great thank you, and as we thought really, just good to get reassurance as only had them since June so its all still fairly new x Thanks so much for the reply x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I am getting very few eggs at the moment too. They were wormed a couple of weeks ago so it is not that. I think it is a mixture of the time of the year, the weather and various degrees of moulting going on. Also most of them are getting a little older now too.

daisyisarobot Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I have 6 ex bats & only 2 are laying now. Turns out that's plenty for us anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulad Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 just to show me up, again ! Both POLs are now laying - cheeky chucks !!! Not worried about the exbats as they are moulting and regrowing sooo many new feathers at the moment and they desperately need a break anyway so all is well in our world again - for now at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
