Silkie Hen No Longer Laying

[Padfoot417]

Hey all,I'm having a problem with my silkie hen Rosey.
She started laying awhile back,and now hasn't laid once since Easter.
I'm getting concerned.
Do silkies do this?
She doesn't seem egg bound nor is she acting weird by any means.
I'm just confused.
This is my first silkie hen so I'm not entirely sure how they are compared to my other hens.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!

My hens (not silkies) also stopped laying for a while and after reading some suggestions on the web, I ordered some farmer's UltraKibble for them. Within about ten days or so, all three hens were laying again.

I also ordered organic, non-soy scratch from countryside organics.

I put out a small bowl for each chicken every late afternoon containing about a third of a cup of the scratch with about a quarter cup of the UltraKibble on top.

I still do that every day. The big bowl of Purina Layena Plus is kept available all day.

They free range all day. Give me eggs almost every day.
