Hello

I hope I’m in. My chickens aren’t laying. I was hoping to learn what we need to do to help them lay eggs.

hello ! Welcome to BYC! i love your user name. !!!!
how old are your chickens?
are they molting?
my chickens stopped laying a month ago I believe because the days are getting shorter, and they are molting. They will start again after the molt and when the days start getting longer again. more hours of light help them to lay eggs.

Welcome to BYC.
Can you answer these questions?
1. How old are they?
2. What breeds do you have?
3. What do you feed them?
4. Are they molting?

Welcome to the BYC community! A huge hello from Australia! Tbh I'm not sure why they aren't laying, do you know how old they are? Maybe they aren't old enough?

Welcome from New Orleans. Hens stop laying for a number of reasons, molting. not enough sunlight, lack of proper feed. Check what you are feeding and look at how much protein and calcium. When my hens slow down in winter, I let them take their egg laying vacation and rest up. I also always have oyster shells and toasted, crushed egg shells free choice. Unless your hens are showing signs of illness, I would let them take their vacation from egg laying and wait until spring. Good luck, I do hope you get a few hens who lay a few eggs now and then.
