Hatching
Hi,
New to chicken keeping and also in the UK. I have 3 chickens, 2 hybrids which have both been laying once a day since I had them. I've had them for about 2 months and they were approx. 3 months old when I got them (or so I was told). One of them has stopped laying, she has not layed for 10 days now. I've checked all over the run to make sure she is not laying anywhere else. In herself she is fine, eating, drinking and healthy. Nothing has changed in terms of their routine or food. Should I be worried??
Also I have a bantam x Frizzle who is now 6 months old and she has not started to lay as yet. I've tried leaving eggs in the nesting boxes but that hasn't worked. Is there anything else I could do to try and encourage her to lay?
Thanks a lot!!
