My hens are about 18 months old and have pretty much quit laying. I believe there is a down time, molt and all. Is there a general time span before they start laying again? And how many years do hens normally lay? I have two buffs, one RR, and one Black Orth. Would appreciate input as hubby thinks it is time for stewing hens!! Thanks.
