Not noticed any feather loss or feathers around the garden coop etc. I wondered if they were going to molt, but if Jim has not been laying for a few weeks wouldn't she have begun molting by now?

I've had my 2 girls for a year or so now and they've always been very reliable layers. About 1 month ago Jim, my cream legbar stopped laying and now it seems that my black rock Spock is following suit. They're fed on layers pellets, supplemented with occasional bowls of mash and treats of...

I'm new to chickens so I hope this isn't a silly question! I've had my black rock chook for 2 weeks now and aside from the first day, when she laid a soft shelled egg, she's laid an egg daily until 3 days ago. I've had nothing since then. She seems quite content and is scratching around her...
