Do hens stop laying at about two years or so?/
Some that I met sell or bring their chickens to auctions, when they are two years as they are no longer productive.
OH, boy, we have become attached to our 7 RIR's who are two and a half, and have not laid eggs since end of Oct.
They went thru a heavy moult, the weather remained unusually warm, like a late Spring, dipped last week, soo, I am wondering
does one keep the chickens who are not productive and have become pets, or auction or sell them to make room for
young chickens.
