Ok, thanks. I guess i had read that they wouldn't be quite the producers that the other varieties i got were, but between the three of them, not one egg in two months? I thought maybe something else was going on...
All three araucana. they were giving me beautiful green/blue eggs, the only reason i know it's them. the other new ones are barred rock (2) and buff orpington (2), and they are laying away.
So, I've got 7 newer hens that I've added to my existing flock of six back in the spring. They're approaching nine months now. They all started laying sporadically between 5 1/2 and 6 months and quickly hit their stride, each laying daily. Suddenly, at 7 months, two of them stopped. completely...
