No eggs!

[Tinalk13]

Please help! I am new to BYC, have had my girls for 5 weeks...red stars and a bantam. I was getting an egg a day from each, but now I'm lucky to get one a day! I am feeding Blue Seal layer pellets, let them free range about 3-4 hours a day. What am I doing wrong?! Just added some oyster shells to their pen yesterday. The bantam has also been very lethargic. She has spent most of the last 2 weeks in the nesting box.

Sounds like your bantam could be broody. Does she puff up and growl at you when you come close? If you were getting all those eggs and now are getting none, my guess is that your girls have found a nesting spot that you haven't found yet while they are free ranging. =)
