    Hens Not Laying For Almost 2 Weeks?? Why??

    Hello! Just thought I’d post here in case anyone has any thoughts or suggestions on what to do. :) So I have 4 laying hens (all are about 8 months old and have laid eggs before).

    Moving hens each summer/winter

    I jokingly say that my hens (7) have a summer house and a winter cabin. In winter, we use a coop/run near the house along a side yard. It’s sturdy construction, well insulated, close to the house so I don’t have to trudge through much snow to tend to them, and it’s near an electrical outlet so I...

    2 year old hens rarely lay

    8 month old chickens are not laying

    Four of our hens hatched 17 chicks in April of this year. We've fed them the starter food and allowed them to stay with the Hens that hatched them. About a month ago, we started giving them the laying mash. But...they still have not started laying. Of the 17, 5 are obviously roosters. Any...
