Hi, i have 5 chooks, a sussex, RI red, gold lace wyndotte and 2 black australorps. They have all stopped laying for at least two months now. They were all laying well during summer and spring and then went off. My neighbours are doing the same. All chooks are still in prime laying condition. Can someone please offer some advise.

They are just having a rest. As the days get longer, they should get back into their laying cycles.

not laying pullets are frustrating to say the least I hatched 7 two buff Light Sussex 5 RIR and a roo they have just started to lay well 4 of them have this is over the last month I still have another three to go now considering they all hatched out the same time you would thing they all would be at it by now not on your life and that's just the way it is its the same with a moult some will get over it sooner than the others will I have some that have never had a moult but in the end we are all rewarded and get to extend the breeds next year great stuff the chicken world is fascinating to say the least Trev
