Hi all,
My 9 month buff orpington recently has stopped laying eggs. It's been 15 days since she last layed and I cannot figure out why! She is not exhibiting obvious signs of being broody, seems to be eating and drinking normally, and is acting otherwise normal. I've changed the bedding in the nesting boxes, changed it back...I cant figure it out! It's been fairly rainy here, has rain affected anyone else's hens?
Any ideas to help get my egg layer back are appreciated!
 
They will stop laying if they are stressed also.. Like a kid/dog chasing them, any changes to the coop, lack of protein and calcium (if they are molting especially).. Hope this helps
 
Do you free range?
Do you have other birds that are still laying?
They do, but not as much as they should. They get out with supervision because we had foxes in April....one is still laying, the others arent quite old enough yet. Our good layers were taken by the foxes in April
