How to intentionally stop egg laying

[CharlieBaby]

My hen is laying internally and I need to stop her from laying any more until I can get her to a vet. I’ve read that to stop laying, a hen should have no more than 10 hours of daylight, but I’m not sure how people accomplish this.

To intentionally stop egg laying…

• Do you put the hen in a completely dark kennel? How dark?
• How long do they stay in the dark?
• Do they eat and drink when kept in the dark or just sit there?
• Would a small red nightlight be okay to help them see their food and water while in the dark?

Thanks for any info or tips!

I don't think this would work. Take her to a vet to get hormonal implants they will stop the laying best of luck!
