12+ silver grey Dorking
8+ red Dorking
8+ black/self blue bantam Cochin (getting roughly 50% self blues)
8+ mille fleur bantam Cochin (also producing buff columbian now and then)

It is just a bad time of year...heat, molt, days are already getting shorter.... I have been holding back because everytime I offer eggs, the hens don't lay.

Is that what happens! I offered 6 eggs on another swap and my hen suddenly quit laying. She's not molting. Then after having broodiness cut short the other one started laying and now it looks like she's quit too! None of them are molting yet!

I think I need to get out in that coop and figure out what's going on with those hens!

You have to take away their internet connection so they won't know when you need eggs and do this to you, that's what I had to do finally.

Ok you guys.

I checked them over, only one had mites and hardly any at that. So, I took care of that problem. However, I found what I think the problem probably is. My rooster... gentle soul that he is... must have slipped off of their backs because several of the girls have wounds on their sides. They're healing up nicely though. I got the spurs taken care of. Clipped them back with some hoof nippers and then filed the ends smooth and rounded. Hopefully he won't be wounding any more of his girls. I know he's not doing it on purpose. When I said he is a gentle soul, he is very very gentle. Not only with his girls but with other roosters and me as well. He's such a sweetie!
