Juveniles

[NicoleSteve]

Babies are almost 6mths, and the elders have stopped laying daily for almost 1mth now. Qe believe we have 2 roosters out of the new batch of babies, they all share a coop and the babies were hatched in the coop.....is this just a transition stage of some sort for the juveniles?

Hello, and welcome to BYC! If it has been hot where you are, sometimes the layers will slow down.

It would be great to know where you are located. If South of the Equator, then low light levels will make the stop.

If you are experiencing alot of summer heat - that can put hens off laying as well.

Welcome to BYC. Further information would be helpful, as suggested by ronott1. Starting a new thread with as much information as possible on this forum would be a good idea - https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/chicken-behaviors-and-egglaying.18/

Best wishes

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

As stated above, heat or the shortening of daylight hours will effect egg laying. Lots of egg-less flocks these days in the northern hemisphere. When it's too hot, birds eat less, the lower protein stops egg laying along with some possible dehydration. What ever the reason, I hope they get back to laying soon.
