How long would you expect stress to suspend egg laying?!

[LinzeeBrie]

I know moving to a knew location can be stressful... And getting dipped in gasoline due to a horrible case of (undisclosed) SLM was probably the stress of a lifetime... And I suppose we're still not entirely out of the winter lull......
So suddenly my "it's been well over a month now", doesn't seem like long enough?
(She's a year old Ameraucana, who was {apparently} actively laying at her previous home).

How many hours if day light there?

Hmm is she stressed. Is she old? Old hens can lay but not as often.

Give her a bit more time....days are not that long yet.
Ameraucana, or EE's, are not always spectacular layers.

I agree EE can be surprise layers. I have a 4 year old EE that lays everyday I also have a 2 year old that lays 4 times a week. It really depends on what the EE was mixed with.

Yes as soon as someone mentioned daylight hours, I wanted to say "enough that everyone else is laying!", and then I realized that's totally not true . Only my youngest birds are laying, everyone else is holding out for longer days so if she was laying last year, she could totally still be taking her break... (Fun fact - my EEs are currently laying every day, but I don't expect that to last too long ).
Also should note that I edited to correct vaseline to gasoline - much higher stress factor I imagine

I wondered.
One one gasoline dip?
