I have a question about egg laying

[Animal-lover339]

Well they aren't exactly in

A move to a new place can stress them enough to stop laying.
If they are inside your house and not getting any sunshine that can stop laying too.
What all and how exactly are you feeding?

They aren't exactly in my house it's on my second floor but the get plenty of sunshine and I've been feeding grower and broiler feed with corn and layer feed

So they are never allowed outside into a chicken run or yard?
Do they have grit and oyster shell available?
Why the broiler feed?
How much are you feeding?
How much corn, broiler feed and layer feed?

Stressed birds do not lay. Birds not fed properly do not lay.

I do allow them outside the problem is one of them has a bad legs and she is so fisty she tries to fight but the others of course almost killed her her husband died the same way,I do provide grit,the broiler feed well beacause when I got her she was very thin just like many other birds I get I try to nurse them and eventually they get better,I'm feeding about a handful and it's All balanced mostly lAyer feed a bit of corn and a bit of grower and broiler

Bantams are generally not good layers to begin with so there's that.

How old are they? I know you have had them a few months but if they are getting old that might be part of it.

Ohhh I see well I had oegb at one point and she Layed like 80 eggs in 1 month I was surprised really I don't know if you can tell a chickens age by looking but would it help if I sent pictures?

 

[aart]

yes I am feeding twice a day

They should have access to a good balanced chicken ration every hour they are awake.

I don’t think one chicken laid 80 eggs in a month. 30 in a month would be possible in an overachiever, with 35-40 possible but unlikely.

I agree! 80 in a month would be 2 on some days and 3 on most days. Just not possible.

I counted them there were many and she was my only hen at the time so I was also supposed believe me I was feeding her grower and broiler only at the time
