No eggs from a flock treated with Corid

[MaddyCox]

I have a flock of ten hens that I treated for coccidiosis when they were roughly ten-eleven weeks old. I treated them for two days, waited a week, and then treated them for an additional two days as was recommended, and then I gave them a couple days’ worth of nutridrench after treatment with Corid. They looked and acted healthier, had vibrant feathers and ate and drank normally. Now they are well past the age where they should have begun laying eggs, and not a single one of them has laid an egg. They all look and act perfectly healthy. Good appetites, vocal, and interactive. They should have started laying over a month ago. Did I mess them up somehow with the Corid and nutridrench? Is there anything I can do to spur egg production? I have other hens that are laying normally so I know it isn’t the diet they’re on. And the ten non-laying hens were part of a flock of twenty that I split with a friend and hers are all laying now. Where did I go wrong, and can I fix it?

More likely that the impact of the coccidiosis rather than the Corid has delayed the start of laying.

Thank you for replying! How long do you think I can expect the delay to last?

Chickens lay when they are ready, which is about when you start to loose your mind with waiting. How old are they? What breeds?

They’re four months old. They’re a mix of blue laced Wyandotte, speckled Sussex, welsummer, and cuckoo marans.

Are you sure they had coccidiosis?
4 days worth of Corid may not have cured it. That is not the correct amount of days need to cure it. Exactly how much did you give them each day?

What exactly are you feeding them? What you are feeding them has a major impact in thier egg laying capabilities. What's your weather like? How many birds do you have? What size is your coop? All of these things matter.

Can you post clear photos of each?

They won't lay for a about about a month, 16 weeks is young to lay for most breeds. 12 weeks was way too young for them to lay. Most chickens lay about 18-22 weeks.
