Hi shaunie, how old are your hens? If they are going through a full moult they will stop laying, give them some poultry spice in their food and after they have finished moulting they will get back to laying  :D
Staffies are softer than you think.

Moulting takes a lot out of them, you cant expect them to cope with both at the same time.
We have 17 chickens, 3 quail, 2 dogs, 3 cats and that's enough (for this week)
