Hens not laying?

[Layla1223]

I have 2 Cuckoo Marans that I hached and have raised. Last month they started laying. I got 2 eggs very regularly. And then. They suddenly stopped laying. I havn't gotten an egg from them in quite a few weeks. I know they are not laying because all of my other hens are bantys and they are the only ones who lay big brown eggs. Is it possible that the eggs got smaller and lighter? I have gotten a few eggs that are a darker brown but not as dark as they were and a little smaller. Could thoes be theirs? Any help/advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, not sure about the size change, but i do know that my hens will lay real regular for a while then will take a break, so yours will probably start to lay again shortly. while they aren't laying it might be a good time to worm and treat for lice/mites if you haven't already do so, that way when their ready to start laying again the withdrawl period will be past..

Thanks for the advice.

I might do that. I hopefully they start laying soon.
