I have two laying hens right now one RIR and one Buff Orpington.The RIR started laying a few weeks before the Buff but my RIR hasn't been laying very well at all
they have been laying for a few months now and my
Buff lays way more then the RIR does what gives? she goes in the nest box everyday and sits for a long while then jumps out but no eggs.She also lays a lot of soft eggs too I don't give layer feed because I have a male duck I don't want eating it but I do have oyster shell and egg shells out at all times any ideas what could be wrong??? or will it just take time for her to work it out because she is a new layer?
