Hi
Hoping someone can help. I have three orpingtons as my first hens. They all look healthy and happy but only seem to lay for about 5 weeks in the year (May-June). We therefore havent had a single egg since that time. Cannot seem to find a reason for it but Im sure those of you who have had hens for some years can help? I know that they arent prolific egg layers but the odd egg throughout the year would be nice. They are about 1 and a half years old now, so things can only go downhill?
Regards
Megan
