Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

Hens who have been broody (sitting on eggs) won't start laying for a while especially if they have chicks. So it will take them a bit to start up again. Make sure they have calcium and layer feed.

Here's a link too.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Mountain Peeps X2 Broodies can take a while to start back up at laying. Definitely stop by the thread Mountain Peeps has left for you for more help.

I hope they get back to laying soon!

It definitely takes them a while to start laying after brooding. They need to re-organize their hormones!

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Molting chickens will generally stop laying during this time. Feathers are made up of 85% protein and so the egg laying usually takes a break since the bird has a hard time replacing feathers and laying eggs. Some birds will lay on and off, but many birds do stop.

Enjoy your flock and welcome to ours!
