Hello Everyone

Wondered if anyone could help or has any ideas/ info?

In July we got 6 pullets alledgedly on the point of Lay. I *think* they are RIR but not entirely sure

Finally In setember we got our first egg and were getting a single egg per day for just over 3 weeks.

then suddenly we ate not getting eggs anymore, Its coming up to 3 weeks and not a single egg has been seen.

are we doing something wrong?

the weather has been awful, lots and lots of rain as it is at this time of year, I also noticed feathers in the coop and run, they are eating well as ever though

its just a shame as we all got excited over that single egg a day

and were hoping for numbers to increase not stop altogether!!

Thanks for any Help

Rachael.

It's like 1 a.m. over here right now, so I can't really think, but it may just be that they're molting.

bad weather will cause them to stop laying, Not enough light (Happens in winter.. and fall). Will cause them to stop laying. Stress. molting. Worms. Parasites. bugs (Lice. mites. etc). are most common factors when hens aren't laying

AND....hens do this sometimes, especially in the begining. My fist hen laid daily for 2 or 3 weeks and then stopped for about 10 days. Drove me crazy trying to figure out why. But she re-started and so will yours
