No eggs

[GIO22]

My chickens are not making any eggs . They only a year and a half old.
I can't figure out why. The only reason that I can think is that my rosters are stressing them out.

Ok? Your hens are probably molting.

In the fall, most hens at that age will molt, and stop laying. None of mine are laying right now because they're all molting. Molting is when they lose their feathers and grown new ones. As the days get shorter, the amount of daylight decreases, and egg production will drop off with fewer hours of light. If you want them to lay through the winter, you need to set up a light in your coop.

What it means no eggs through the winter

Well, after the winter solstice ( around December 21) the day light will increase, so you could get eggs before winter ends.

Hens of most breeds will not lay eggs during the winter until there are enough hours of light per day.

In my experience, it is close to spring or in spring that my hens begin laying again.
