    Hello,

    i recently bought 4 new hens. All were said to be laying. After a month i have one hen laying an egg 5/7 days a week and nothing from the other three. Did i get hustled with spent hens. The guy i bought them from swears the two silver laced wyandotts i bought from him were hatched in January of this yes. I also have a black star that will not lay. My 1 good laayer is a partridge rock

    any thoughts?

    Keith

    [​IMG] Given the stress of a changed environment plus shortened day light length, it is not unusual that your hens are not laying. Supplemental lighting might spur them into production.
