So lets see. back at the first week of August on of my 5 hens had started laying very tiny eggs. After about 1 month of laying one about every 2 or 3 days she stopped and went very broody for about 2 months. Then they all started moulting. No eggs.
Now, They are now 1 year old and I thought they had finally begun to lay when on 01/08/09 I got 1 nice large egg. Then on the next day I got another nice egg (the size of a grocery store large white).
Since then no more eggs!
They get plenty of laying mash and I give them scratch mix and treats like berries, stale bread, lettuce etc.
Size wise they have grown into very nice size hens. Someone tole me my Roo could be keeping them from laying but I never heeard of that.
I'm not sure what else to do with these hens, after a year nearly a year of feeding them (they were 1 month old when I got them) it is becoming very disappointing not be getting any egg production from them
