pullet stopped laying

[deborahi]

I have 2 hens that lay like clockwork and 2 pullets that have just started laying in the past couple of weeks. The RIR layed for about a week and just stopped. Could Gussie (for greedy gus) just be too darn fat? She is the dominate hen and trys to run everyone else off when I feed some scratch. She isn't egg bound because she is active and bright eyed, seems normal but no eggs and yes I have checked in every crevase.

Pullets can be a bit irregular in the begining. How long has it been since she layed an egg?

I wouldn't worry yet. I agree .. they can be a little frustrating in the beginning, but they'll soon get the hang of it. If they don't continue to lay soon, then you might have a problem.
