Don't worry! Once they start they don't seem to want to stop. If your's at about 20 weeks then get ready! You'll get that first egg soon.

Mine stoped for awhile, so we added some light. It goes on at 3 am and off at 8am. I didn't think it would work, but almost 2 weeks to the day we added the light, they started laying again!
We changed the light Sat to a 250 red bulb for warmth, and I noticed a drop in eggs! My Millies are still working out their egg issues they are younger than the rest, so I won't count their eggs.
We went back to the regular light today, so I hope it helps again. I want to make sure they are warm becuse with the wind chills we were in the - digets!
So try the light on a timer, it's working for us!

Its soooooooo cold here, my chickens don't give me any eggs, and they's old enough...

Welcome to BYC, here we always

Count our chickens before they hatch
Count our eggs before they're laid
Count the days
Count the weeks
Count the pullets
Count the cockerals.


I'm counting on eggs from my three week old chicks, and dammmit, both RIR look like roos. I was getting one egg about every other day, but I think all four girls are on break now. Only 5 months till the babies start laying.

20 weeks is still a baby. And the cold doesn't help. You will probably get eggs within a month.

d'Uccles don't need excuses. They are too cute for such nonsense.
