orcadia Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I am new to the site but not to chickens but this time I am snookered, apart from moulting what else would stop hens laying, I have 18 hens but this last few days just getting one egg I know odd hens are moulting but this sudden drop has never happened before and I feel something is not right, they are standing oddly, I know it sounds stupid but I can't see anything else except I noticed on one or two of the combs a black spot, has anybody any ideas, they are de-liced and wormed fairly regularly.

mullethunter Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Are they all the same age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 What do you use to worm them? How old are they and are they hybrids or pure breeds. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Or any egg eaters.I only had 6 but was getting no eggs in afternoon.I then started checking every half hour and got 5-6 eggs.Then discovered one was tucking in and leaving hardly a trace.
