Five buff orpington hens, all less than two years old, and three of them have not resumed laying after winter despite having lots of daylight now. They appear healthy, but no eggs. Got a few fairy eggs a few months ago. Is it possible our not very old girls are just done laying and ready for the pot? 😭
 
No, we don't think so. One hen is laying consistently (3-5 times per week), and a second hen is laying inconsistently (1-2 times per week), but the other three are not laying at all. They do not disturb the eggs that are being laid.
