not laying eggs

Audrey is 7 or 8 years old and has a soft swollen abdomen. She sits in the nest box for the normal time and then goes about her business as usual but no egg has come. She seems perfectly fine otherwise. No pasty butt and poop seems normal (see pic) Free range, acts normal during the day, perches...

Hi everyone, I was hoping you all could lend me your experience on a matter I am having with one of my australorp hens-Polly. Several months ago Polly had sour crop which turned into an ER visit, which turned into antibiotics, and testing. Her crop has never been the same since so now she wears...

I noticed about a month ago that one of my chickens’ combs was very pale and shrivelled and that she seemed to have less energy than the others. When I picked her up I also noticed that she is extremely skinny under her feathers, like basically a skeleton. I brought her inside and dewormed her...

HELP! I’ve had one of my ducks for nine months and one week. She is very active and fun but the problem is she has never laid an egg that I’m aware of. Please help. I have fake eggs in the coop to help her get going, extra calcium in feed, and one of the other girls I’ve had for over a year lays...

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). In with them I have 3 roos that they grew up with and are friendly with (the roos mate all the hens and I’ve had zero...

Hi i have 4 chickens. One is an Easter egger, blue sapphire, red sex link, and silkie. They are all hens for sure. They are now about 21 1/5 weeks old. They have a run. Have been on layer feed. Have two nesting boxes. Have a coop. But they haven’t laid a single egg. I’m worried I’m doing...

Hi all! Any and all help would be appreciated. Back story: April 2021 got 2 chickens that were approximately 1 year old. One was reddish brown, second was speckled tan/white. They may have been purchased from tractor supply. They are kept in a Omlet chicken coop with 12 x 4 ft run and let out...

So I’m stumped! All 4 of my hens stopped laying completel! I looked around the yard and haven’t found anywhere they’re laying. They all seem to be in good health. I was told the drought and heat waves would be the cause of stress / not laying. However, it’s cooled off, plenty of rain...

Hello, Cagney, our 6 year old RIR was laying for several days then taking a break, then laying again early this Spring. In all she laid 19 eggs and one Fairy Egg from March 2 thru April 5. Now she hasn't laid for 11 days. I don't think she's egg bound. No sign of parasites on her or in feces...

One of my chickens, who has been broody that past two summers, has not laid an egg for the past week. She looks healthy with a bright red comb and eats and free ranges with the rest of the chickens. I am finding her, however, in the coop standing or sitting next to the nesting boxes but not...

My two chickens haven’t laid in 7 months. They saw 4 chickens get killed by foxes and primarily stayed in the coop for a while. The coop had been left open on accident two nights. But then appeared normal and healthy. They are good and come to me for meal worms abc look great. They have not laid...

I have 3 white leghorns in our mixed flock, they are a year old. we have only had about 10 eggs from all of them. It is easy to tell as they are the only white egg layers :-) All the chicks are normally free ranged in the PM so thinking the leghorns may be laying outside of the coop we have been...

So my hen, Misty, is a three-year-old Easter Egger. She isn't laying, and I don't know the last time she did. She is not molting. I have her on a higher protein food. There's a light bulb in the coop, in addition to the natural light from outside. I put a mineral supplement in the water. She...

Hello all, we have 3 laying birds as of now 2 SLW and a cream legbar. Last week the legbar just stopped laying eggs. Nothing new in the coop, no new chickens added but I did switch their food from grower to layer pellets. Is it kinda normal for randomness of not laying eggs for a week or...

I have a hen who isn't eating much other than melons and cucumber. Doesn't show interest in dry feed, or fermented. She is only passing water and a small amount of green poo. Lost a lot of weight but still responsive and walking around but she spends a lot of time just sitting alone. I've...

I purchased a Lakeshore egger on May 2nd, 2020. It has yet to lay an egg. It seems healthy and is eating/drinking water. Has anyone else experienced this with a Lakeshore Egger?

I have an Easter Egger that started brooding when she was six months old. She was regularly laying eggs. She was broody for about 3-4 weeks and has not laid an egg since. It has been almost three months without sign of her laying another egg. What do I do? Everything I have read says they should...
