It was typo - the OP means presses.

Quote:
Potential reasons for no eggs:

1. You have egg-eaters: chickens, snakes, dogs, skunks, or something else.
2. Your chickens are molting.
3. Something scared your chickens. Could be as benign as a helium balloon or as malevolent as a predatory attempt.
4. They are hiding the eggs somewhere.
5. They are broody.
6. They are old.

My bet is on # 1, 2, or 4. Those are the most common.

I vote for hiding eggs. When we clean the coop, we always find a bunch.

They will recover from it slowly, could be about a week.

You know you can edit posts to fix typos right? That way you don't have to post again. The mods don't really like that.

JennsPeeps has given you a very nice list. To answer your Q about scared hens, just give them a little bit and they will resume laying.

(ETA: Ah, Debi, beat me to it!)
