    Bantam Eggs

    I have two questions and hope someone can provide me with an answer. I have four Silkie hen chickens and they are approximately 10 – 11 month old. One month ago one of the hens “Beth” started to lay one egg a day. Since they are all the same age why is only “Beth” producing eggs? “Beth” now...
