I don't know if I should worry about my new hen, who seems to have stopped laying. She's about 15 weeks, RI & Leghorn cross and has laid almost an egg a day since I got her in June. She picked a spot in the shavings in the house where the youngsters roost, to keep safe from the older hens who are bullys.
We've had a terrible heat wave these past few weeks, 102+. So I expect the girls to lay less often, but she's stopped entirely.
About 10 days ago she was looking pretty puny, but the laid an egg the next day and went back to her normal self. But since then not 1 egg, that I can find. She's in fine shape, eating, drinking, scratching around out in the yard and doesn't seem stressed at all.
Advice from this site Ive added oyster shell for them and the chick starter is done, so everybody's on layer feed.
Should I worry that she stopped laying? The other 2 lay an egg about every 2
days.
