    Enjoying New Year so far!!!
    What breeds are they? They should be younger than 3 or 4 years is you still want eggs. However, there are lots of things that could make them stop laying. Have they just moved in? It could be stress, a disease, mites, lice, and many other things. Do they appear to be sick?
