 o
Non Broody Hen Not Laying

Posted by scortes Seattle, WA (My Page) on

I have two little bantam cochins that have both gone broody (after a neighbor chicken sat and didn't collect their eggs) We are dealing with that and allowing them to finish their time brooding. The problem is that our other laying hen (10 mos old) who is not broody has stopped laying.. she was partial to the nest the broody hens are in but I'm surprised that she's completely stopped laying now for like a week. The hens live in a run so there's no chance of her laying elsewhere. Any advice you could offer would be gratefully accepted!
