4 out of 6 of our Hen Owners are laying, not daily, but enough that we can just finish off our store bought eggs and then start picking 'em off from the kitchen window.
While the hens were molting, some of them got super crabby. A couple seemed to be a little depressed. They started doing a little better with an increase of protein in their diet. I picked up a bag of, "Feather Fixer" which seemed to help. Now that some are laying, I have it mixed in with layer feed.
So about 6-8 weeks they took a break, are taking a break from laying. And being winter, they haven't been doing their other job (eating bugs). That's okay. They're fun.
