My gold lace Wyandotte hens have not resumed laying since going through a malt which started about early March 2014. Anyone else having same problem. They reside in the Caboolture area of Qld.

Hiya!! I'm in Adelaide and mine two bantam Sussex (pullets when I got them in summer) stopped laying end of April. I'm new to chooks so bit worried by how light and antisocial they are getting through what I assume is moult. Are yours still out and about and eating a lot?? Thanks! Leah dh8989u9

Hi dolly bird,

They won't resume laying until it starts to get warmer now.

If you look at the girls you will still probably find the still have quite a few pins that haven't unsheathed yet. This is all part of the moult process, so until they have done the moult & all the feathers have grown back (and are fully unsheathed) there will be nooooooo eggs.

Hope this has helped.

Cheers
Chicka-Dee

It's just that this year they seem to be taking ages to get back into laying. It has been quite warm here the last 2 weeks - 25 - 29 deg. so thought it would be warm enough but I will check out their pin feathers and thanks for the replies.

Your welcome :-D

I know it's been warm but then we've had cold snaps & the days are still short even if the days are warmer than usual. I'm on the bayside of Brisbane so you're about the same temps as us over here.

Were your girls POL/or there abouts last year? I found the year my girl was POL she didn't take long to get back into laying, but the following year she took about 5 months to go through the whole process & get back into laying & this year is the same.

They take longer each year as the moult process really put a toll on their bodies & they do lose weight because of it & then they take a few months to get their feathers back & build their weight back up to start laying eggs again on a regular basis.

That's the good & bad of having Heritage breeds.

Cheers
Chicka-Dee
