I have 5 pullets- NHR, BR, BA, 2 EE. All hatched May 7. 1 EE, the NHR, and the BR have been laying since Sept/early Oct. About 5-6 weeks ago the BA laid 2 eggs 2 days in a row- 1 in the run, the 2nd in the nesting box. And then nothing from her since. (The other EE was the runt and is still not laying or squatting).
My 3 laying birds lay consistently. 2-3 beautiful, hard-shelled, normal eggs a day in the nesting boxes. No signs of illness. The BA is red and squats all the time when I approach her. She is a sweet and docile bird- doesn't seem stressed and is not bullied. I feed organic chick starter (for more protein) and oyster shells on the side, few treats, sometimes free-range in the yard, other times in the run all day. I have thoroughly cleaned out the coop- no signs of eaten eggs or hidden nests. I raked through the run that has DL- again, no signs of eaten eggs or hidden nests. It is possible I might have missed something because of DL but I did check corners thoroughly.
What is going on with the BA? Side ?- Will the 2nd EE ever lay?
