got my 3 surviving crew back. had the nice people keep ROO ROO. I guess Baby Girl is still not laying unless her body healed inside what ailed her. she is 5 yrs old and the other two 4 yrs old,,,,
But she still does the NESTbox thing and even egg song other day. and she's still the Boss.
Maybe now her feather will come back on her back at that spot. since she doesn't have to deal with ROO ROO anymore,
My other girls died (2) while at foster home. we buried Blue and what was left of the other w. 4 yr old body after her prob being sick then something ate most of her body) here on this property.
My biggest hen they supposedly said she disappeared. I keep hoping they will find whats left of her body. so we v can bury her here. They think it was a raccoon. Hubby gave them a trap to use and they caught supposedly the raccoon. we still buy eggs from them. nice people but have to call and make appt. to pick up eggs
They are finding mulberries on the ground in their giant fenced area. and pitiful apples. prob also Blackberries, too growing along their fenced big area.
they have snuck into my other fruit bushes ...I have big holed circles around ...covered with window "sheers " sides and tops. So I had to add a smaller holed fencing around the bottom 18 inches. Took off the hdwe. cloth circles because so hard to remove by myself or reach thru..
so roost trays are a lot of purple poo still so what y'all think?
thanks all
 
I'm not understanding your question. Sounds like your birds have been under a lot of stress which can cause eggs without shells.

Many hens will stop laying by age 5. So it's not unusual.
