7 month old brown shaver stopped laying!

[Lucy_Dobinson]

Hi all!
I have three brown shavers/hybrid commercial hens, I raised them from day olds. They all started laying about a month ago an egg a day, but all of last week- one particular chicken isn’t laying? The other two are, and the three seem fine and eating etc. it is spring here so mild weather also. Can they just randomly take a break when they’re young? As the other two have continued, but are all eating the same greens and layer pellets with grit. Thanks!

Are you sure all three chickens were laying eggs, maybe the one you think was laying never did or it could be egg bound.

yep sure she was laying, as every morning I would go out to three eggs. How can I tell if she is egg bound? Her vent doesn’t look abnormal from what I can see on the outside

I don't know what to check for when there egg bound, but there's a lot of people here that can help if it's the case.

If she was egg bound she would appear very ill, lethargic and walking like a penguin.

Do you free range?
Could be they are just not all laying daily, probably not with shavers, but.
