I moved my two new 6 week old pullets in the chicken run a week ago. They are in their own cage inside the run. My 3 one year old hens are now on Egg Strike! They laid all year and all winter...now nadda! Nothing...ziltch for 4 days! My white Leghorn sleeps and lays next to the pullets cage. I have two New Hamphires, one which jumps up and trys to peck the chicks when I remove them to bring into the house at night. I made a small escape door for the pullets, that I planned on opening under watchful eye after a week, but now I am afraid to do it. Any suggestions? Tips? Experience like this? I know chickens can stop laying due to stress but come on...does it have to be during an egg shortage?
