I have two isas, an amber link, and a Colombian Wyandotte that I got a little over a year ago. The isas started laying at the end of last winter and the amber link wasn’t far behind. The three of them have laid every day since and while it’s great that we have so many fresh eggs, I know it’s hard on their little bodies to keep up such aggressive production. My amber link has even continued laying through her molt. We’ve changed them over to the non-layer feed for the fall/winter and were hoping that the shorter days would do the rest. I’m out of ideas. I wouldn’t have gotten these breeds had I known that they laid so much in the first few years, only to have complications later, but what’s done is done, and I just want them to have the best life possible, even if it means we don’t have fresh eggs for a few months. Does anyone have any suggestions to encourage them to take a chicken vacation?
