I have 3 chickens. All are 2 years old as of May 20, got them all as 1 day old. One has stopped laying (Barred Plymouth Rock), the other 2 are still laying at least 3 eggs a week. She has not laid in the last 4 weeks. Up until then she laid at least 3 times a week. She is very healthy. Still "bows" when I go to pick her up. Comb and wattle are as red as ever. No signs of cuts or wounds. Feathers are as good as ever. Eats and drinks well. No weight loss. Still socializes with the other 2 chickens and with us. No sign of stress or being picked on. If anything she is the queen of the roost, but all 3 get along very well. She is not sitting on the nest, being broody. All three are always together.
Confused as to why this one stopped laying at what I understand should still be a fairly productive age.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim
