Right now even with supplemental lighting the only ones laying for me are my bantam Salmon Favs and my one pet cochin( I also have LF Favs. Barnys, Ameracauna, Ancona,Buckeye, and a few other misc.) Another breed you may wish to try would be Rhode Is. Red, its the only one that i have had in the past that also layed like crazy....But there are other reasons that may affect laying needs too..... comfortability of the coup/nesting box, diet, parasites, molting/broodiness,,,,,change....Are they young or older?Thanks for replying elizmartin. I don't have supplimental light, and I considered that might be the problem. The only thing is that Faverolles aren't supposed to shut down in winter (or at least my research led me to believe this is the case when I was considering them), and they stopped laying before October.
It's completely baffling. I'm almost at the point of just giving up on owning Faverolles. I mean they're pretty and all, but I don't intend to eat them, and I don't have space to breed them. So if they don't ever lay, there's not much point to owning them.
Anything different from before October when they were laying and after they stopped?????? eliz
