Everywhere we read said they were excellent layers, sometimes even through the winter. However, our girls didn't start laying until the April of this year...

    Hello all, I have a Dominique who is 36 weeks old, it is now December and she stopped laying eggs about 1-2 ago. Around that same time, I thought I noticed a slight limp when she ran, but didn't see it when she walked, so didn't think much of it. She is my most adventurous lady, always escaping...

    Chicken not Laying?

    One of my Americana chickens has stopped laying. It’s in the early winter months now and she is about a year old. Almost all the other chickens are molting including her and at first I thought it was just that she didn’t have the energy to molt and lay simultaneously. But it’s been several...

    We have barred rock, rhode island reds, and easter eggers. Got them as chicks April 2016. All normal until this summer, they stopped laying, then maybe a month later they started molting. They finished molting a month ago. In total it's been around 4 or 5 months of literally zero blue eggs...

Wendi still hasn't laid an egg. She was supposed to be about a year old when I got her. She is an Ameracauna and seems...
