On Christmas night a critter (raccoon) got into my coop and killed 6 of my 7 hens and wounded our rooster, Robbie. One chicken (a Red Star) was left unharmed in the henhouse. I nursed Robbie back to health and we have reinforced the coop now so nothing can get in. The pair seem perfectly fine now, but since that night the hen has not laid an egg. We live in the mountains of Colorado and just went through a 2 week cold snap (10 degrees at night). It's warming up now and I have warming lights on all night in the henhouse. The hen is 18 months old. Will the hen lay again or not until spring?
Thx for any help.
