French frogs

Good morning wv!
My lav orp laid 6 eggs the first month and not one egg since. Is this normal?

Mine have not laid well at all yet, so hopefully Oz's answer works for us both.

My BO hen did that in January, took February off, and has started laying again in March.

Thanks!


Another silkie pip!! :yiipchick

I have a cardboard wall separating 4 of Johnny's eggs. I will replace it with hardware cloth next time, but doesn't seen to be hurting humidity or temps at all.

Be careful with hardware cloth. I did that and a chick got caught trying to get over to the other ones. It got a cut on its neck. I just about culled it right then because I thought there was no way it would live, but I doctored it instead and it recovered. I'm going to try those plastic fruit cups this time.

Good idea
