I have a GLW that layed for a couple weeks last fall. She has never gone into molt and hasn't layed on almost 1 yr. She is on layer feed, free choice oyster and grit. I was feeding greens daily and scratch about 2x a week. I have stopped doing this to see if she would lay. The couple weeks that she did lay the eggs were normal but alittle small which was to be expected.
There have been no changes to the environment. She along with 3 other hens are in a loving and calm environment. We live in the bay area where our weather is nice year round. Of the other 3 hens, two are daily layers and the third lays eggs that have alittle wave but are still delicious.
Will she lay after she goes into molt which should be this fall? I am thinking of getting rid of her if she doesn't start laying. If I decide to cull her, is she edible or will she be tough?
Any help would be appreciated.
I forgot to mention that they are in a coop and have a large run. There is no place where eggs could be hiding.
