Iknow this is going to sound crazy, bu i know a lady who had chickens that should have been laying eggs. I told her to call the farmers supply and there was a lady there who was really helpful. She told they lady she has been feeding layer food and the lady said to switch to GROWER food until they beging laying and then switch to layer food. Within 5 days she said she had eggs. I would at least try it because all her birds are now layin eggs.
