I have 4 hens that just turned 2. All of them were laying daily. I had switched them to a locally produced feed but then switched them to a "feather fixer" higher protein layer crumble because My rooster is hard on them. Well needless to say after the switch all but one stopped laying. Then 1 started laying again but stopped again.We've used that food in the past and had no problems. Tried switching them to the Purina layer crumbles thinking their systems didn't like the feather fixer and its been Over a month and still no one is laying eggs. Just occasionally one will. Tried adding oysters shells and that doesn't help. Considering going back to the local feed but I hate to keep switching them. Is this really what is causing them to stop laying? Do I need to give it more time on this food? No signs of illness or parasites.
