No sign of worms and no sign of mites either. Every so often I dust the birds with DE. With the smaller of the two I think it is just that she is bullied and refuses to stand her ground even when much of the flock is passive. My RIR Roo seems to make sure they get the chance to eat, but he does so while eating himself and letting everyone else eat. I thought the two of them inside for A week and mostly isolating them would get them back onto laying. That's A no.
Sex links are 5 months and change. They are MACHINES 2 of the 4 laying at 13 weeks. The third A week later. Fowl Pox slowed them down to like 3 A WEEK
I have seen no sign of worms or mites, Ivermectin is great stuff and low risk so I guess it's worth A try. I'm disinclined to keep bird that just stop laying entirely for several months A year though. The idea was to cultivate A food source and do A mobile coop setup so I can turn yard into soil, not become A food source. Guess I also need to wire A light source into the coop.
My line of thinking was it may have had something to do with the white streaking in their combs. Searching that turns up "spots", these are NOT spots. More like the dead skin remnants leftover after scabbing. Problem is I am fairly certain they were over fowl pox weeks ago.
A 236 full grown is 4.5 lbs. There isn't much meat there.
You had pullets laying at 13 and 14 weeks old?
