new member, rooster recently, hens are not laying.

Three of my four Amberlink hens have not been laying since a rooster was added (not Amberlink) about two weeks ago. Is the rooster the reason they are no tlaying?

Hello and welcome to BYC!

There are a lot of reasons why your hens may not be laying. We are coming up on molting season, weather changes, feed changes, stress, the health of your birds. They could be laying in a secret nest. If the rooster is stressing the hens with too much mating, this could have the hens off their egg game. How many hens do you have?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

If you haven't had him that long, it may be a stress adjustment. Molting season is also starting.

Welcome. I agree with @DobieLover. It is most likely a stress adjustment.
