post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

ok, so here's the scoop our precious Tammy hasn't laid an egg in almost 2 monthsbarnie.gif. what the heck? we thought she was starting to molt several weeks back, she had some bald patches on her neck. no one was picking at her, she's still eatng, drinking and playing. just no eggs.her feathers have grown back and she looks beautiful as usual. we did rehome our 2 silkie roosters about 4 weeks ago, could she be missing Piper, the love of her lifehit.gif. the other 3 girls are laying like clockwork. any help would be appreciated!

thanks!!!

Mama (and Papa) to 1 RIR, 2 EE, 1 BR mix, 1 Leghorn, 1 Dominique, 6 Unknown chicklets, 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 childish husband, and a partridge in a pear tree. Ok... I'm kidding about the pear tree. It's a fig tree.

Could be she is missing the roo; the shorter days - now beginning to get longer; the molt or all of the above.  As they days get longer she should begin to lay again. It's just different from one chicken to the next. Hang in there.

As the daylength increases, her egg production will resume.  She's just taking a break.
