Laying peahens- frequency

[fgdiii]

I have read that peahens lay every other day. I have one that lays like once a week and I have 2 others that are together and so far I have received 2 eggs. a week apart and the last one 5 days ago. What is going on? Can anyone explain to me what is happening or what I should expect in the future?

Ours are pretty steady at an egg every other day. The weather will throw them off laying, we just had a couple days of rain and they didn't lay during that.

True!
Mine too are every other day layers.
How old are the ones in question? Very young birds may be the problem, if they are 3 or better though, you should average 1 every other day

Yes egg every other day till they lay a clutch of 5 to 8 eggs, then they stop for a few days then lay another clutch. most peahens will lay 4 or more clutches if eggs are removed.
