In early April, I acquired 2 Silkies from a breeder who was downsizing her flock. She told me the 1-year old hen was already laying, and the other was of age (just over 6 months) but hadn't laid yet.
I've now had them for 3.5 months and they seem happy/healthy, but there are no signs of laying...
Golden Comet stopped laying about 3 weeks ago. She doesn't appear egg bound/no penguin stance or change in behavior. She still eats and comes running for treats. They eat the persimmons tree leaves, but they did that last year and laid non-stop. Nothing has changed with diet except I switched to...
I have two layers right now, the rest are too young, one lays dark brown and one a lighter brown. I haven't gotten light brown eggs in over a week and a half. Hens seem healthy, eating and scratching. Nothing looks odd. Haven't found any secret nests. We did have two bad wind storms a week or so...
