My cochins werent laying well eithr then I put a light in their coop for some younger birds and they started laying agin. Unfortunetly they went broody on me so I dont have any eggs again lol But I did notice Isis had one chick hatch yesterday so thats OK too. Where are you located I feed my cochins a 17% layer feed and they are big fat and georgous. I buy my feed from the mill not a feed store so I dont feed a name brand. You could try googling feed mill in your area and you might find one locally. I did.
