My hens have stopped laying! I have 2 Cochins - 2 yrs. old that have not left me anything in months. 1 EE - 2 yr. old not laying in months. 2 White Rocks - 1 quit laying a few weeks ago, the other nothing in months.
2 BR - started laying two months ago, -1 nothing now for a few weeks. 1 Sultan started laying two and a half months ago - nothing in a few weeks.
I did just find out a few weeks ago they had tapeworms and Coccidiosis and treated for it with Albon from my vet and Strongid for tapes. Would they stop laying from the cocci medication for awhile?
I had a trail camera up for a month of so earlier in the year when I noticed the egg numbers dwindling and got nothing. No varmits stealing eggs, no one eating them.
If one of my hens was eating them, I would suspect that I would find some remenants of it? dried yolk, dirty shavings with egg on it etc. nothing. all clean.
No snakes to speak of. only chipmunks and birds.
