Hello- we live in Australia and have a mixed breed of 5 free ranging gorgeous chook friends - one australop Juliette , pickles is rhode island red x light Sussex, Bob is a silky x (she is a girl with a boy name. Don't ask) and Megs and MaggieJo are both aracuana - although MaggieJo and Bob are only blue egg layers. It seems MaggieJo is not interested in laying at the moment and after a couple of weeks, I am getting concerned. All others seem to lay each day. I don't think she is egg bound, she eats fine and is as bossy and neurotic as she has always been. She is about 18 months old. Should I worry?
I am still new at this!!!
We moved to a new house 2 months ago.
Thanks for any advice, fellow chook people.

She may be gearing up for a molt. It's fall in Australia right? Have you checked for external/internal parasites? Stress can also put them off laying. You moved recently and upset the chicken routine. It seems like a bit of a stretch after 2 months, but perhaps she is still settling in after the move.

Good luck with her.
