NEED ADVICE: My friend's Entire Chicken Flock have stopped Laying - ANY IDEAS - He may have to kill them

Absolutely this^^^^^^^^^

Need to buy another rooster we had this problem bought another rooster problem solved

hens will lay from 6 months to a year year and a half and then take a break.. then they start again laying bigger and more regular...

He does feed lay mash for the protein, cause they need it for their bones and the egg calcium, if he doesn't feed lay mash it will come out of their bodies and lessen their life

They are taking a break, no need to kill them...

They also moult right around then, lose some of their feathers and get new shiny ones....

True, but because of the light, not the heat.

Chicken Kiev or Cordon Blue comes to mind

Thank you for this. It made me laugh so damn hard! Lolz. Especially “are you both retarded”

Advise friend to stop fukin them

Chickens are like people, he needs to go into the henhouse and talk to them and explain it like he is talking to a millenial.
Then the chickens will understand and feel the love and start laying.

Put an infrared light in their coop. They'll be laying in one to three days. The only other reason is you might have a persistent predator nearby. Like a racoon or a bobcat. Sometimes this will cause them to stop laying, but rarely.

I'd say with almost certainty, it's the weather. Tell, him to relax!

Has anyone suggested feeding the chickens laying pellets and crushed oyster shell? I had chickens for most of my life and I always gave them a little of both at least once per week. Both are available at just about any feed store.

Chicken soup maybe?

They need some gravel in their gizzards.
The good kind not that crap from walmart.

:)

His cock is too small...




:bigcock:

A bottle of wine and some Barry White?

A true psychopath!!

COLD

Don't kill them.
It is winter with shorter days, they slow down and sometimes stop laying.
Make sure they are getting plenty of protein. They will start laying again as the days get longer.

Tell him to put a light on in their coop for an extra 4 hours in the evening. Chickens need 14 hours of daylight to lay. In the winter, we only get 10 hours or so of daylight. Chickens are dumb and all it takes is a little light to keep the eggs coming. You’re welcome.

Mine lay in the winter, but my friends don't. Tell him to wait, before he kills them.

Make a poultice of ginger root colloidal silver and 2 marijuanas.

Get a brooder light and string holiday led lights in the coop with a timer.

The hens need more light, not more hear. A protein boost wouldn't hurt.

Your friend is an idiot.

Thats not a large flock asshat...

jesus crist you stupid mutts...

the days are shorter...

Put a light in the room...make sure they are warm...

and the biggest thing that makes them actually lay fucking eggs...

PROTEIN...LAY PELLETS HIGH IN PROTEIN...

WHAT THE FUCK IS HE FEEDING THEM...

PROBABLY NOT WHAT THEY NEED...

FUCKING DUMB CUNTS...SHOULD NOT HAVE ANIMALS...

He should kill them all, ha doesn't deserve to own anything alive.

Make sure they have grit if they're confined and not free ranging...

Lack of grit will make the whole flock stop laying. My chickens never completely stop laying in winter, just slow down.

With lights, you can actually get TWO eggs a day.
Lights on 6 hrs off 6 hrs on 6hrs off 6 hrs

Put a light in the coop. Chickens go by light to lay eggs. Doesn’t need to be a heat lamp because temp makes no difference, just light. Put in safe spot and In about 4 to 7 days the hens will start laying again.

its winter they are not being kept warm enough and use a light to trick them on hrs in the day

They stop laying in winter when there is less daylight.
They also stop laying when they molt.
A third reason hens won't lay is a nearby predator. If they sense a predator, they will hold it in. Its instinct to ensure the survival of their offspring.

Several things to try.
1. Add a light source to make sure they have a minimum of 14 hours of light.
2. If they are molting, they need more protein and vitamins. All their nutrients will go into making new feathers. It is common to give hens cat food during a molt.
3. If they are holding it in due to a predator nearby you have to remove the predator. Try wolf or fox urine.
4. Red pepper flakes. Chickens do not taste the spice but it will make them lay. The eggs are also much larger when fed red pepper flakes.

PROPER BEDDING...LAY BOXES...AND A CLEAN PEN...

FRESH CLEAN WATER ALL THE TIME...
