Sorry to hear that. My older girls have also pretty well stopped, between moulting and age they are not laying, I am getting eggs now from my young pullets and hens only.I haven't had any eggs laid since October 25...
The hens had their first real molt, they're not quite 2, I get it. The pullets appear to be ready to lay, but maybe the shorter days are preventing them?Sorry to hear that.

I am fine with this, they need the break. Replenish valuable nutrients and calcium.
Yep that’s the down side of having chooks. I have some youngsters whom I am sure will not lay until spring.The hens had their first real molt, they're not quite 2, I get it. The pullets appear to be ready to lay, but maybe the shorter days are preventing them?
They're all getting some extra protein, and have a self-serve dish of oyster shell flakes.
If they all wait until after the first of the year I'm going to have to buy eggs for the holidays..
