no, I really dont. They are all worm free, mite free and on 20% layer pellets....and they are all first year hens, I was gettin a lot of eggs from them a month or so ago, almost an egg a day per hen then just BAM, stopped laying...
When I have that problem it is generally snakes.
You know, I had thought that but my pens are made from 2x4 wire and if a snake took an egg or two it wouldnt be able to fit back out would it? Also, we have anywhere from 2 to 5 dogs runnin loose and I have been home a lot lately, over the last few weeks I would have thought that I would have seen it. I did see a 2 foot long king snake the other day by my wifes birds....

You guys are busy this morning.
I am still getting alot of eggs from my laying flock but my Old english seem to be on a break right now. I don't know if it is the weather or just the dull dreary days we have been having. No feed changes for mine so it has to be the weather or day light or natural cycle.

Might not be as much the feed as it was the "change in feed". I know when I changed from Big V to Munding I went through the same thing. Couple that with the fact that I made the change in August....
I thought they were never going to lay again.

I did the change in feed at least 6 weeks ago, and I mixed the old feed with the new feed and fed that for a week. I feed them twice a day, I toss it in the hay I have in the bottom of their pens, so they get a work out while they eat, when i fed them free choice they were getting fat and were wasting too much.
