Young chickens

[Robin4901]

Did these 4 chickens just start laying recently? When a couple of my pullets started to lay, they laid for a week or so and then stopped. One stopped for a couple weeks before starting up again, the other was over a month. I heard it can be normal for new layers to do that.

Thank you
I’m hoping they start again
Just not sure why only 4 out of the 8 are laying

It's likely that they all aren't ready to produce eggs, and also likely that nobody is laying an egg each day.
Patience! It's hard, and the pullets will do what they do...

We have 7 chicks under 1 year old Please help

How old are they, in weeks? Did you raise them from chicks?

Laying crumbles,scratch, fresh veggies from the garden ,bananas
Worms ,dried up crickets
Plus they are out in the goat pasture couple times a week

How long have you been feeding them layer feed? Might want to cut out everything else but the layer feed and the insects.

Just not sure why only 4 out of the 8 are laying

Can you post pics of them?

Here's some tips on how to tell...
