Hens stopped laying

brownp · « **on:** May 18, 2010, 14:59 »

HI
I bought 3 new hens to go with my existing 3. They hve settled down really well over the last week (as I was told they would when I had initial squabbles).
My problem is that my existing 3 that used to produce 3 eggs each day have stopped laying - now 2 days with no eggs. I don't have any vermin around and I can't find any eggs around their run etc.
Any ideas? They have been in lay for about 8 weeks
Thanks

It's probably just the upset of having 3 new friends.

Don't worry too much - I'm sure they'll be back to normal soon.
