Hens have not layed for two weeks now??

I don't know how much "advice" I can give, this is my first year with chickens. I have had similar issues though. I have 11 pullets...8 or 9 are laying age. We were getting between 5 and 7 eggs a day then it got cooler and the days got shorter. I haven't had an egg from my BR for almost 2 weeks. My EE quit laying almost 3 wks ago and we're getting somewhere between 2 and 5 eggs a day now. I've started giving them BOSS seed and butternut squash/cabbage. It does seem to help since the days that I don't have the veggies available they go down on eggs for a few days.

I'm debating over whether or not to add lighting to the situation...Hope it at least helps to know that your not alone.

Good Luck!

 

I have RIR's and Isa Browns. My RIR's are 3 + yrs old and not laying well, (time for freezer camp) but my Isa Browns are awesome. They started laying at 16 weeks and are now 1½ yrs old. I average 5-6 eggs a week from each one. New Isa Brown chicks due this weeek. I love my Isa Browns.

 

I have also seen a huge production hit the last few months.... I live in Nevada and thought it was the heat, then the cool weather came and still down to 2-4 eggs a day when I have 12-13 hens. I did switch to lay-mash and no scratch and it has helped the last couple of days.

 

I have one RIR she has not laid since June when she started a severe moult. She was practically naked for months. Now she just got a good load of feathers back. Then I put the new chicks in the coop and she darn stopped laying again after only giving me 3 eggs in months!!!!!!
My other girls have gone off the lay also as they are on the moult now too!!!!!!! NO EGGS!!!!!!!!! I have showed them all the oven several times but they just don't get the message??????????????????

Your not alone!!!!
