Hello,
I don't know what is going on. All my hens stopped laying eggs about a month ago. About 2-3 months ago only about half were laying... now no one is laying. I breifly read another thread about this and someone said they might be molting. There is a big area with alot of feathers on the ground. Everyone seems happy and normal, eating, drinking running around. The usual. I have orpingtons/wydonette mixes. I have one hen who has been broody laying on nothing. Around June or so I found lice on some of our new chickens and I treated them (successfully without chemicals!
All nartural/organic

Hopefully someone has some ideas. Thanks!
