Buff Orpington Hen Quit Laying Eggs All Together

Yup. Put in my order for those last night. I literately cleared their shelves for Austalorps...yea I know...they are related to orps, but hopefully I don't loose the whole flock again

I really like my Black Australorp, she is one of my friendliest. Well have a nice day everyone, gotta take my dogs down to the beach for their morning walk. I hope your Buff lays an egg for you today

My BO's sometimes stop laying too. There's not always an obvious reason for it, but sometimes there is. How long has she been off-lay?

She stopped laying about in march Thanks

Goodness! That is quite a long break, and at such a strange time of year. If it were mine, I might consider culling if she went 2 more months. Has she been sick, injured, or molting during the time she hasn't laid? Any changes to her diet or environment?

Ok, I've faithfully given eggs for 2 yrs, I need a break bc I'm not a machine, thanks for the service I'm gonna cull you now!

My buffs take breaks some for several weeks, etc. Then they are back to laying daily eggs for many weeks if i culled them I'd miss out on the many eggs they have yet to give

This is just my viewpoint I think our hens need more patience from humans laying eggs does a number on them so they recuperate I often see a flock take turns, 3 girls giving eggs while 3 molt, then they switch, those that molted start laying those laying before start molting etc.
