I originally posted this in a different forum and they suggested I post it here:
I have an EE that we have had since 10/8/12 who started laying an egg or two a week about a month and half ago.
Now she is going on almost 2 weeks with not laying any egg. She has clearly not established any laying pattern
yet. She is my biggest chicken and lays the smallest egg. My BA & RIR who eat the same food as the EE lay almost daily.
My RIR is the smallest of the three and lays the biggest egg -
The EE is acting fine in every way other than no egg production. She does sit in the nest box when It's her
turn but shootin blanks I guess.
Is this breed notoriously low egg producers. She sure is fun to be around regardless, she still has a home with us.
Just want to see if I can encourage her a little. Thanks in advance.
