    Leghorn stopped laying months ago

    She is still not laying, more than a year now. She did go through a molt a few months ago and then started laying "fairy" eggs. Today was the fourth such egg in the last 4 months. She lays in the nesting box, but gets out without laying an egg. I am still baffled why after being such a rock star...

    Leghorn stopped laying months ago

    Their coop is big enough for the mere 7 hens I have, plus they get out to free range in the backyard half the day. She is the only one that lays white eggs and I watch them pretty closely all day while they are out so I know she isn't laying outside the coop. She actually sits in nesting box...

    Leghorn stopped laying months ago

    Hello everyone. I have a leghorn that is about 2 years old. When she started laying, she laid every day without fail. After a year, she just stopped. I often find her sitting in the nesting box, but she never lays an egg. She eats great, interacts with the other hens, and acts completely normal...

    What all flock feed are you using?

    I just checked her to make sure and she feels good with no swelling noticed.

    Definitely not laying. I have a small flock and they all lay different colored eggs. I will definitely change the food.

    I did all that when she first started months ago. That was my concern as well.

    I never thought of that. But why no eggs for so long, nearly 8 months seems like a long time to not have laid an egg? The Australorps only seem to bully her when new food or treats come out, then they let her know she is on the bottom of the totem pole.

    2 year old Orpington hasn't laid in 6-8 months

    She has done this behavior for several months. I thought maybe an odd molting where her feathers just broke off and not completely fell out, but they are beautiful now and she started the behavior again. She did this several months ago too where she laid in the nest and then got out without...

    2 year old Orpington hasn't laid in 6-8 months

    Hello all! I have a 2 year old Buff Orpington that stopped laying several months ago. Her back feathers seemed broken so I checked her for mites and other problems, but nothing. She would get into the nesting box for an hour or so and come out without laying an egg. Now, 6-8 months later (I...
