    Stressed hens stopped laying

    Stressed hens stopped laying

    I had 3 two yr old Barred Rocks that have been good layers . Two weeks ago, I added two 16 week old Barred Rocks to the flock. After a few days of sporadic egg laying, they seem to have stopped completely. Most of the pecking order "stuff" seems to have subsided. Will they return to laying and when?

    Newbie Chicken Farmer in Western NC Mountains

    Just a line to say HELLO! We just got our first four Barred-Rock hens last Friday. We chose the two week old chicks to help us be a little more successful at raising the birds. Our first challenge was a six hour power outage at 3:00 am when it was 38 degrees this past Tuesday! We brought them...
