9mo Wyandotte stopped laying

[oldhenlikesdogs]

She is a Silver Laced.

I find the gold laced lay best followed by the silver laced. It's pretty normal in my experiences with Wyandotte for them to lay for a good while than they stop for a month or two before resuming again.

Ok relieved to know this is normal. Thanks so much!

Well - my girl Maudie is still on a laying break. We've taken her to the vet because she did have diarrhea (whitish, sticking to her booty feathers)- all vitals good, fecal float test negative for parasites - so the vet gave us a short course of antibiotic. That stopped the diarrhea. And
She looks good, although one day we noticed a bunch of her downy feathers under one of the roosting branches in the run. So I’m not sure
if when she was preening they easily fell out? Pretty sure no one was picking on her. Other than that, visually and behaviorally she is good - except no egg. Thoughts? Is this still something that can be typical in Wyandottes? Just a reminder in case anyone cannot read through thread - she’s about 10 months old now and stopped laying a month ago - and she would regularly go every other day laying. She eats DuMor organic feed (I’ve tried other brands and this is the one my chickas prefer) but I always noticed this gal prefers foraging and bugs better. Could this be any sort of nutrient deficiency that has caught up with her in winter months? Or could it be it was in fact some kind of bacteria and after treatment will just take more time for her to get going again? Btw I really don’t care if my chicka doesn’t give me an egg, they aren’t “freeloaders” to me, just want to make sure I’m taking care of her properly
Thanks!
