Hi everybody!
I'm a first timer when it comes to chickens, and while I've searched for every answer to the many questions I've had, this is the only one I can't seem to find.
I bought our chickens as chicks in March. They started laying the last week of July through mid-August. We started with 9, one died mysteriously (it was a weird one with developmental issues) and another tried to land in a drainage pit full of water and drowned, so now we are down to 7.
Anyway, I monitor them all and everything seems to be fine except with one of the hens when it comes to laying. She was one of the last two to start, and since her first egg (mid-August) has only laid 3 regular eggs and then 3 wind eggs. The regular eggs were about a week apart and then the first wind egg was about a week after that. The last two wind eggs were a day apart and didn't come until the 2nd to last week of October. We've had nothing since. She doesn't seem to be in distress, and she's not the lowest in the chain from what I've observed. She's very healthy with this exception.
All of my chickens are free range and we have a very large property so they have a lot of exercise. All natural when it comes to feed and such.
The hen in question is an Easter Egger
