1 month and no eggs

[stokes]

I have 2 hybrids and 1 bantam all started laying in march. But a month ago the 2 hybrids went broody so it took me a week to stop them sitting in nest box and I thought it was sorted. But then bantam stopped laying. All I know is 1 started mooting others are grand. But yesterday the 2big ones are going in and out of coop making strange noises and clucking a lot could this mean they might start laying again or what's going on?

Usually the hens qtart clucking really loud near the nest box when they are or have layed an egg. Usually they cluck after laying.

So then do u know why they had stopped laying??? My hen stopped approx 2 weeks ago (give or take) all else appears normal, eating, drinking, scratching, super talkative, and when the roo won't take no for an answer, she's still mating....But NO eggs...any ideas??

Hi newandjustafew - are you sure they are not laying, roosters will mount those hens which are productive (egg layers). Could your hens be laying in a new spot?

I've checked EVERYWHERE they go. We got her couple months ago and after her initial adjustment of a new home she laid 3 of the cutest eggs (every other day) then one came outta her with no shell (membrane not intact) so the yolk plopped out, and the white drizzled out. I watched her VERY closely for three days after that, brought her in even. Totally normal, bright eyed, food eating, water drinking girl...but still no eggs. Let me add, it has been extreamly hot here (101-114) daily

I'm having the same problem. My girls all of a sudden quit! I have a 20 week plym rock who has only given me 2 eggs in 2 weeks and my buff orp who has been a constant layer and never misses a lick has stopped. They get 16% layer pellets. It's been so hot I have hung a fan in the house to keep them cool and added 3 more laying boxes now up to 5. I was hoping the cool front we are all having would be the trick but no eggs! My girls don't free range I have owls and hawks that would have them for dinner.
