I adopted a sex link when we moved into our house. She was laying then, so she was at lease six months old. She stopped laying over a year and a half ago. Actually, I didn’t think she’s make it two summers ago. But, the life in her eyes said she wasn’t ready to go. So this summer, she did better and she looked better. Her feathers looked good and her comb was turning bright red, for the first time in two years! So, I was pleased the old girl was doing well. We figure she’s at least five, maybe six years old. Well.....she’s started laying again! I have a flock of Icelandic chickens, so all of their eggs are white. I have one more rescue chicken, an Astrlorp, who quit laying this spring. So, that left Gert...she gave me “an elbow” this morning as she got into the nest box? And she is laying almost every day! You could knock me over with a feather, ( I have lots! Looks like a pillow fight in the chicken yard). So, has anyone seen and old chicken who quit laying for two years, start to lay again? I haven’t, and I’ve been caring for chickens for ten years!
