every single day????

okay,
well, i have a hen that i was told, was a black rock, i had never heard of that kind of breed,
and i am slightly worried about her, since july, she has been laying every single day, exept for 2 days,
i know it is her laying the eggs because she is the only hen in my flock that lays brown eggs,
i have read that if a hen doesn't stop laying, like going broody, or just laying less for winter, that she could get eggbound?,
if she did go egg bound what would i have to do?
she is going to be a year old on the 1st of january,
by the way i know how many eggs she lays because i have an egg chart (i know, its silly, just to know if something is up with them)
thanks in advance

luke.

I don't know, but I think that she might be a hybrid that has been bred to be like that it will be less every year.

thanks

most hybrid breeds lay better the second year, then the decline starts...

If you have a problem then you can do a search here for Egg Binding.

or you can do that now, so if you ever have that problem you already have the answer.

My Red Star hasn't taken a day off since sometime in August. Other than having shells a bit thinner than the other hens, she's fine - happy, healthy, and has a GREAT appetite!

Relax, and let her do her thing. Eventually she'll slow down.

thanks everyone, the hen in question (susanna) eats like there's no tomorrow
