Does anyone know if game hens are seasonal layers?
So last September someone dumped a flock of game hens at one of our local state parks. We ended up taking 3 hens. They started laying in December and have been consistent layers. We had to rehome one of the hens about a month ago because her and another dominant hen started fighting all the time and we couldn't get them to stop.
They have all stopped laying this past week, including the one we rehomed. Is this breed a seasonal layer? I don't really see any signs of molt. We don't know their history since they were dumped so I have no idea of their ages or anything.
