I hatched out a pullet last February that I named "Speedo". Her daddy's a Rhode Island Red and her mommy's an Easter Egger, some pretty good laying genetics, I would say. Now the thing is, Speedo layed her first egg, ohh back in June I believe. She didn't lay her second egg until more than two weeks later, and layed her third egg two days after her second egg. This was like 6 weeks ago, maybe more, and no eggs since. What is the problem here? She is getting exactly the same kindda stuff as my other hens are, and they are laying just fine. She is not molting, weather doesn't make any difference (she doesn't lay whether its 100 degrees or just 65), shes is not bullied by other chickens, she's not hiding her eggs. Just a perfectly healthy, good looking chicken. You look at her abdomen and say "Wow that chicken must be one hell of a good layer". Apparently, looks can be deceiving. I would have culled her if it weren't for the fact she lays beautiful olive green eggs. Does anyone have an answer to her strange behavior? Thanks to anyone willing to try
