Thanks for writing this, my Easter Egger is acting the same way as your girl is. She stopped laying an egg about 6 weeks ago! I’m glad to know she’s not the only one. Maybe one day she’ll start up again.Thanks! I have same issue with one of my 1 year old hens (Americana). Stopped laying in the fall and hasn't started laying again. It's May 19th now so it's been about 7+ months. All the other hens (the ones that didn't lay throughout the winter) all resumed laying about two+ months ago.
I've switched feed a few times and cleaned the coop with no luck. We do have a rooster. She does climb into the next boxes all the time, sometimes on top of other laying hens. She occasionally waits for hens to leave the nest boxes (almost like she sits in the coop stalking them until they get up) then she goes and sits on the eggs. But this isn't an everyday occurrence and she only sits on them for a short bit before leaving them.
I'm holding out hope that she'll lay again. She's safe here either way, even though she is a freeloader!!! LOL She's middle of the pack (use to be at the bottom but after a hawk got a few of our hens, she's done much better in the pecking order). She looks healthy besides not having tail feathers. She lost them last year when at the bottom of the pecking order and has never grown them back. She has a fluffy butt and we have had to give her a bath about 3-4 times over the past 6 mos. due to poop sticking to them... all the other hens don't have the problem (maybe once). Not sure if that has anything to do with it??
