    ISA Brown Hens

    Ducks not laying

    Hi. I have about 12 or so female ducks. All under 2.5 years old. I have not received a single, not one, duck egg for 3 months now. I live in Alberta too by the way. I don’t give my ducks any supplemental heat, no heat lamps or anything. I feed my ducks once everyday, barley and 17% chicken layer...

    Hen stopped laying

    I have a 2 year old RSL. She hasn't laid an egg in over a week. I felt her abdomen, and it doesn't feel like there's an egg inside. Nothing has really changed. I put our peafowl in the run several weeks ago because their pen was badly damaged by really strong wind. We just got that pen back up...

    One of my chickens, who has been broody that past two summers, has not laid an egg for the past week. She looks healthy with a bright red comb and eats and free ranges with the rest of the chickens. I am finding her, however, in the coop standing or sitting next to the nesting boxes but not...

    My Pullets are nearly 7 months old and haven’t begun laying yet, weather or diet maybe?

    Heyo hope everyone’s doing well. Just curious as to why my 3 pullets and also other pullets from the flock haven’t been laying at all but they’ve already reached 6-7 months old? Understandably my older hens have taken a break especially due to cold weather lately and just overall egg productive...

    Not laying for 4+ months

    I must be overlooking something, yet I feel like I’ve tried everything. All our hens stopped laying in July. It’s now November. At first I thought maybe they were going to molt, but they didn’t. Then I thought maybe the hot summer weather was causing them to stop, but as the weather cooled to...

    I have 4 approximately 3 years old and have not laid in over 2 months. We live in Florida where it doesn’t get cold. Do you think they are done laying (retired)? Here are the photos of them.

    Confused

    My hen is about 1 1/2 years old. She stopped laying about 4 months ago or longer. She is acting healthy, her comb and wattles are bright red. Her legs are yellower than the rest. I wonder if its just because she isn't laying? She eats, she is a really good weight. But she has a bright red butt...

    Hen not active; comb floppier than normal; sick?

    My cuckoo maran hen is not feeling her best. Her comb is extra floppy and her feathers are unkempt. She walks around with the flock, but doesn't dig or peck, just watches the other hens intently. When I go to pick her up, she doesn't flap her wings or resist like she usually does. It has only...

    Silkie going to nest box daily but not laying?!

    Hey all, I'm looking for some advice regarding one of my silkie hens. She is ~ 2 years old and is (maybe) acting a bit out of sorts. Four of our 7 chooks are broody at the moment. The chook I am worried about isn't broody but she goes into the nest box each day for maybe an hour or two but then...

    Hen not laying eggs but in the box all day and night

    I have a hen who hasn’t laid an egg in the past three days but has been hanging out in the box all day and night. It has been in the 90s here so at first I thought the heat was keeping her from laying. Now I’m concerned that she isn’t drinking and is dehydrated. She’s acting a little lethargic...
