Chicken what breed and how to get a chicken to lay again

[Chicken-lovebirdchihuahua]

Does anyone have a guess on the breed or should I ask again with a picture?

In a few weeks

A picture is pretty much necessary to determine the breed, if you can get one please do

 

[Chicken-lovebirdchihuahua]

I will as soon as possible

She will likely start laying again once the days get long enough. Layer feed is for actively laying birds only, all that extra calcium will just sit in the kidneys and cause damage if it's not needed.

Oh no ok thanks if she is to old for later feed what do I give her

I will as soon as possible

Thanks! I'm not as good at determining breeds but I've seen other users in the thread that I believe are.
I suppose flock raiser would suffice or even chick starter in a pinch (my birds are only 12 weeks at the most so this is only what I picked up browsing the forms, please correct me if I'm wrong)

 

[Chicken-lovebirdchihuahua]

Thanks I will remember that

And she's not too old to lay. I've got 4-year-old hens that are just starting back up laying after finishing their molt.
It's a bit of a myth that you need layer feed to get eggs. But there is no magic ingredient in layer feed. It's just less protein and a whole lot more calcium.

Thanks so much! I always thought they stopped laying but I bet your right
