No Eggs!

[sheri grimley]

Have a Light Brahma that hasn’t laid since July. A Easter Egger who quit laying month later and 2 Rhode Island Reds who only lay occasionally. Maybe 1 or 2 a week between the 2 of them. Before all this I usually got 3 or 4 a day from the 4 of them. Not sure what’s going on.

How old are they? Maybe the Easter Egger and the Rhode Island Reds are molting? That will usually slow down production significantly due to the effort and protein it takes to grow new feathers. Not sure about the Brahma... Maybe she is old? What feed do you give them? Are they overly stressed? Hope this helps!

I raise Brahmas . Mine will only lay on a certain feed. What do you feed yours?

That shouldn't be happening unless the feeds' nutrition is barely sustaining life. What are you feeding?

I feed an organic 16% layer crumble.

I used to feed just your typical 16% layer crumble ( it's an Alaska specific brand, most Alaskans seem to feed it) but upgraded to country life 16% layer crumble because Costco has it for about the same price. Maybe they're just spoiled lol. That's just what I've observed

I know this started a while back, but how many hours of daylight are you down to now?

If they aren't laying, they shouldn't be eating layer.
If they're molting (highly likely, everyone is), they should have a higher protein, around 20%.
I dunno how the feed companies convinced people that layer stands for "adult" rather than "laying", but they do the chicken hobby a disservice.
