Egg Production Picking Up

[TheEggCollecter]

It seems like forever since my older hens have laid an egg. But today one of my older ladies layer an egg. This is a sign spring is coming! Anyone else have older hens starting to lay after winter?

Mine are picking up as well. Not all of my older hens are laying, but several of them are.

Yes! I'm relatively new to chickens. Last july I was given 3 easter eggers and was told that they were about 2 years old. In hindsight, I believe they are a few years older. I was able to enjoy their green eggs for about 4 months, then they stopped laying. I had already determined 2 weeks ago that I was going to have to take them to auction because For practical purposes I can't just keep feeding non-layers. Well, lo and behold, yesterday one of them gave me the first green egg in 5 months. Thank goodness, because I didn't really want to cull them.
