Switching feeds or just me ?

[konjo]

I have two hens they lay pretty good they are about 1y 9m old they are a white leghorn,rhode island red in Nov about the 10th I switched my feed to Ace-Hi big feeder laying feeds from star milling co in perris cal. I have not had an egg after that. Is it just me or what? They are not molting and the weather is about 34, Also I have a light that I put in that goes on about 4 in the morning. Dose anyone have any Ideas? Thank you.

Why did you switch the food? Were they already on a laying food?

I try not to make abrupt feed changes if I can help it. Better to mix the feed 50/50 or thereabouts until the old feed is gone. Less likely to cause upsets like that.

Changing feed brands can sometimes cause your birds to go into another molt, thus halt egg production.

Waoooo Thanks for all of the input

I switched because me and i buddy where at feed store and i bought some there (BIG MISTAKE) and they where already on laying feed and laying

I think i'm going to switch back to what i know was working. What do you guys think ? Also how long before thay start laying again ?
