My Easter egger stopped laying after we had a heat wave. Her sister didn’t. She doesn’t appear ill. It’s been 3 weeks now. She goes to her nesting box daily. Her comb has become a brighter red tint and I increased her protein. Not sure what’s going on with her.

I have received some eggs cream legbars which 2 after candeling weren’t fertile and the other 5 are questionable. We had a heatwave the day I got them via UPS.
