Hen stopped laying

[OuelletteFlock]

My 23 week old Australorp laid her first two eggs last Sunday and Monday. She has not produced an egg since. Is this normal? She’s acting 100 percent herself and showing zero signs of anything being remotely wrong with her.

The heat maybe? Has there been anything that has changed with her environment, etc. I know that stress can cause changes to a chicken’s egg laying. But I’m far from an expert.

We added our 11 week old pullets to the flock a week ago, but they had already been living in a grow out pen located inside the coop for weeks prior. They were out there weeks before she even started laying. It has been hot here. Possibly the heat I guess?

 

[Bear1978]

Yeah. How hot had it been there lately?

Young pullets need some time to get it all sorted out.
She's just started laying. She won't be laying every day just yet.
She looks healthy enough.
Heat could also be a factor, but it's not abnormal for her to not lay regularly in the first month.
