Hello,
My 5 Black Australorps (BA) are not laying eggs, despite being 7 month old. I'm from France (so Nothern hemisphere).
One of them actually started to lay eggs one month ago (so she was 6 month old). But not anymore, so I have zero egg now.
I raised them from fertilized eggs thanks to a Silkie mother. I suspect I missed something in their diet. I gave them special first-age food for 4 weeks, then special 2nd-age until they reached 16 weeks, then layer-feed.
When they were around 3 month old, I made a mistake, giving them layer-feed for 10 days.
Outside of this, did I miss something ? Are vitamins absolutely necessary ?
Thanks for your help,
D.
