I'm in NJ and have 5 hens and 1 RIR pullet. No eggs since August when molt began for the hens. The RIR was hatched May 15th and has not laid.
Oddly the hens' combs never returned to red after the molt and I see no sign of parasites. The RIR is nicely red but has not laid.
The main feed is Purina Layena. A tray of scratch with meal worms and lettuce keeps the girls out of the coop while I clean. Since I live in a development, I clean daily.
The hens have quite a lot of run and a 4x4 ft coop with roosts, 2 nest boxes, feed and fresh water. I do not heat the coop nor do I have a light. I much prefer that the hens live as much with nature as is possible being that they are cooped up.
