Still won’t lay

[Peggsblueinc]

My 6 girls that are now only a year and a half old have stopped laying. Once the heat set in last year we get around 110 during summer we live in southern Nevada. Nothing maybe one. I have tried everything. I give them vitamins fresh veggies. I do give them corn everyday. I’ve wormed them. I read not to give them treats in am because it may stop egg production. So I refrain. So know give in pm before they go to bed. Like I said first it was heat then they molted and now the cold. Any suggestions I’m at a loss.

What breeds are they and what kind of feed do they eat? That is odd.

Some breeds of chickens will stop laying in the winter. Many of the game breeds will stop laying during the cold, short days.

How many hours of daylight to you have in Nevada? The "average" chicken needs 14 hours of daylight to trigger laying, although I have observed some my own chickens begin laying after I reach 11-12 hours of daylight. Those that do start laying early are the production breeds.

Don't worry girl. All of mine except 3 haven't laid in over a month from molting, light, cold, ice, and snow.
