almost yr old chickens and no eggs

[macdoogle]

Just purchased two pullets from an organic nursery on April 1st. Next day was supprised with 1 egg. Again on Easter Sunday one more. Now, nothing . I know its only been a week but whats up?

It sounds to me like they are not getting enough food. If they aren't getting enough, they won't lay because their body is conserving energy to stay alive. I keep my feeders full and they eat as they wish.

If you only had 1 that was not laying at a year old, I'd consider maybe something else. But all of them not laying, then there's something else going on. I'd also up their protein, either by switching them to flock raiser (with oyster shell and grit in separate containers free choice) or supplementing with tuna or some other protein.

And you don't need a rooster to have them lay. That has absolutely nothing to do with it.
