Hi all!
My 7 month old chicken Ash, starting laying daily about a month ago. We had an egg everyday in her coop. Also we had our frist easter egger lay one egg. About a week ago, Ash stopped laying and just sat in the nest box brooding. No eggs under her and doesn't want to budge. I took her out and closed the coops so she won't brood. She's one angry chicken. My other chicken, who only produced 1 egg, stopped laying in the box when Ash started brooding. HELP! Any idesa would be great. Weather hasn't changed, food hasn't change, Nothing except her behavior and unfortunately now my other one is either laying somewhere else i haven't found, or she stopped too

She won't lay again till she snaps out of her broody spell. If she is really broody, you really don't want to put anything under her because that will make her stay broody. If you want her to brood, put fertile eggs under her. If not, keep removing her from the nest.
