What happened?

[Kilgharrah]

My RR stopped laying she us 6 months now and was laying like a champ for the last two months my EE's are still laying? And i haven't changed anything

Do you know how old she is?
How old are the EE's?
Have you noticed whether the RIR is molting or not?

Depending on her age, she may be taking a break for winter. Lower light levels in winter can also affect laying.

Probably because she is taking a break for the winter or she might be molting.

She is 6 months

She stopped laying b/c she's taking a break. Evidently, your EE didn't get the memo! Winter laying is an individual thing, even with all birds being the same breed. I've found EE to be among my better layers!

My 2 EE's and 2 Barred Rock crosses are still laying. they are pullets, 7 mo. old. the rest of the pullets aren't laying. not molting, just laid good, started in September then stopped for past 2-3 weeks. The 2 EE's are laying about 5 days a week still. The EE's were also the first to start laying eggs of the pullets. Haven't had to buy any eggs at store as yet.

It could be she's taking a winter break, but at 6months old, I've found that pullets generally do lay through the first winter. What do you feed? Inspect her for any lice/mites, watch that she is eating/drinking well, observe her for any signs of not feeling well. Provide oyster shell free choice and consider having a fecal float for worms.

((If she is active and seemingly bright within herself, participates with the flock, etc., I then she is most likely taking the winter off.))
