And what happens if you have ZERO chicken vets ? There are none where I live
It’s getting colder here. But one of my chickens hasn’t laid an egg for a couple of weeks. She looks okay but my chickens aren’t really friendly and she is hard to catch. The others are laying. I have 3 hens and one rooster. Any info would be appreciated. They were born in Feb so not even a year old. Also. The days are getting shorter. Not a lot of light
Depending on the breed, it may be normal. I have 2 flocks, 1 is layers only, isa browns, they may skip a day or two, but out of 12 hens, I'm still getting 6-10 per day. Other breeds may, and will stop during shorter days. And if they are molting, they will stop. Birds less than a year are not steady yet. But come longer days, they will go back to regular laying. And some birds don't lay every day anyway.
@@crrc250 thank you.
It is February 2024. Over the last few months because it is winter my chickens have stopped laying eggs. Some of them recently started back up. The first time I got chickens, they all laid eggs through the winter as it was their first time laying they never stopped. This year they stopped for the winter. Currently I have buff orpingtons that are laying, black sex links that is laying, a silver laced Wyandotte that is not playing. Each breed is different as far as laying eggs in the winter. Also when they're young they may still lay or they may stop during the winter. If they are acting normally otherwise, I would wait and see. If the ones that are not laying are acting different, then you may want to investigate. I hope this helps.
There is no vet that will take chickens anywhere in my area. My poor birds are at the mercy of an inexperienced caretaker aka me. I believe I lost a bird to egg peritonitis. She was a black sex link chicken.
