My son picks up his fav chicken, a Golden Comet, daily and she lays like a champ. I agree with above, might be a food issue.
Too many peeps seem to refer to Easter Eggers LIKE THEY ARE SECOND CLASS HENS.. Unless you are into showing your birds in competition and poultry show contest, Easter eggers ARE GREAT BIRDS. I had 3 and each one laid a different color egg. The inside content of different color eggs TASTES THE SAME TO ME...... I HAVE NO QUARREL WITH HATCHERY, OR FEED STORE CHICKENS. I only keep chickens as PETS.....
No one means for Easter Eggers to come off as second class birds, but they are too often confused with the pure Araucana and Ameraucana breeds. They are not the same things. Easter Eggers have had a lot of things bred into them to boost their production levels, making them a great choice for a backyard flock. But all the crossbreeding has led to birds that are highly unpredictable when it comes to rate of development, laying rate, and temperament, and you can't be sure of blue eggs.Too many peeps seem to refer to Easter Eggers LIKE THEY ARE SECOND CLASS HENS..
