2 year old peahen

[Luvbirds0303]

Hello my name is vicky...
I just brought home a 2 yr old peahen which was laying in her prior home. I have had her for about 5 days now with no eggs being laid.
Is there a process for her to go threw to adjust to her new home.

Thks

I assume she has fellow chickens to keep her company, right?

Welcome to BYC! Give her some time to adjust to her new home and I bet she will start laying again.

It’s just the stress from changing homes

Definelty stress from the move. Could be a few weeks before she starts up again!

Thk you everyone...

Even moving a hen from one pen to another will shut down the egg laying, I doubt that she will start up again this year.

No worries, next season she will lay again and even more eggs than this year. It is always best to make your pairings this year in preparation for the next season.
