I have only 3 chickens which started laying eggs in February. Last year all of my previous chickens were murdered by a stray dog, so I've been keeping the new chickens in a much smaller pen away from the street. Over the winter, they lived in my garden area, but a few weeks ago I built a new area for them, so I can use my garden. After I moved them, they continued laying for a while. My 11 year old daughter was allowing her friends to come over and see the chickens, probably chasing them down in order to hold them. This was a daily activity, until I stopped it a week ago. Now, for over a week none of my chickens have been laying eggs, and one of them stays in the nest all day long, only coming out once in the morning to eat and roll in the dirt.
I've picked her up, held her, felt her body, and she seems normal and healthy. She just won't come out, and won't lay eggs.
Any ideas? Thanks!
