Hey y'all,
I have 4 backyard chickens: 2 EE, 1 Barred Rock, and 1 Australorp. The two EE's started laying at 5 months exactly and they have laid an egg a day very consistantly only missing 1-2 days in the past 2 months. My Australorp is 7 months and just started laying this month, everything is going well there. My problem hen is my Barred Rock. She laid her first egg at 5 months, she has laid 2 eggs and then she stopped. It has now been 6 weeks and no eggs from her. She is not moulting and I have not changed food or anything that would cause her stress. My flock was dewormed and they do not have any mites. Why would three of my hens be laying well, but one would stop laying? Any ideas on how to start getting her to lay again?
