not laying

My girls slowed way down on their laying too. I added lights to the coops and I am back up to 6 eggs a day! Some people don't like to add lights because it is not natural, but I really like eggs! Good luck!
 
Do you have lights on them Sem? Also, have you tried upping their protein by adding Black Oil Sunflower Seeds or another supplement? It's kind of weird how it's just one bird.

My EE hasn't laid an egg since July. She was just over 2 years old at that point, but the RIRs who're the same age are still laying. Unlike the other two, she took long breaks in her first year of laying. I suspect that some EE's are just better layers than others. Clearly mine is not one of them.
 
She's not even a year and a half yet. She had nice blue eggs. Buster, I don't have lights on them, and the rest have laid great all thru the winter. (what winter). I could try more protein I guess.
 
Some birds may just be more sensitive to the weather changes. BOSS (black oil sunflower seeds) or scrambled eggs may help. I fed my birds some BOSS the other day and I think laying picked up for a couple of days. I'm going to start feeding it some more and see what happens, especially now where we are in the single digits again.
