Added light: still no eggs

[rileyelliott]

I got my first chickens about 6 weeks ago. Three 1.5 year old copper marans. Two were finishing their molt, but I was told that the other was laying and in the first week of having them I got two eggs, so that seemed right.

But since then, nothing!

I have added light to their coop, they're getting Nutrena feed and scratch. They seem happy and normal otherwise, just no eggs.

I can see the adjustment to a new place and the end of the molt causing them to stop laying for a month or so, but now with light added and a big run and a coop they seem comfortable in, I don't know why they wouldn't be laying.

Any ideas for this chicken newby?

How many hours of light are they getting? What is the level of protein in their feed?

 

[rileyelliott]

Layer feed with 16% protein. And between 14-15 hours a day!

I forgot to ask how long ago you put the light on them. Are their combs turning any redder yet?
