We have had mites and lice :rolleyes : ( Lacy and 5 other chickens ) we have done the cleaning up and treating today! They had them for two weeks I think! they are two years old . All of them but lacy go to their purch . It was 98 degrees today high humity today

but I could not stand they were suffering with these bugs . But our Lacy tryed to stay in her nest box ! i had to hoses her down to cool her down . I closed the nest box but when things cool down a little I open it up and she went in the nest box again! I

just lock them in for the night and she was still in the nest box??? any Ideas what do I do to help her? she can't have eggs and lay's on every ones else's eggs

Sounds like a broody to me.

She's 2 and not laying? do you know why?

They quit laying when broody or moulting.

How long has she not been laying?
