Why wont my chickens lay eggs?
Question by jenifer84628: Why wont my chickens lay eggs?
I have 11 chickens 1 Barred plymouth rock rooster, and 1 Buff orpington, 4 Black australorp, 5 Rhode island reds. They are all 6 months old and they are not laying eggs, I don’t know what to do. They look happy. They have a big hen house and they have a medium sized fenced in yard, They have a night light in the hen house so they can see at night, They have a perch in the hen house to roost on. I also wanted to know if i should put nest boxes in the hen house? Some people told me they didn’t need nest boxes because they lay the eggs where ever they want. The only problem i can think of is that there fenced in area that they run around in is all rocks there is nothing else in there so maybe that’s problem.. Please help me. I really need good advice, I want my chickens to be happy..

Try turning off the night light ,they do not need it and may be interfering with production.

Enjoy or suffer lol its your pick *yawn* Lyrics: I wonder what she thinking? I aint thinking at all Just waiting for my turn. though there is no revolve On the search for solutions but there is no resolve. It can’t be nowhere near me. I must be off by miles Obedient to rules. But don’t obey the laws of gravity I’m too high up to ever fall for tragedy And I’m afraid of heights, hope this don’t end tragically magically I hope the cloud has an airbag for me Dont want to wind up a statistic or casualty To the air I breathe inhale exhale now I’ll speak In the clouds knowing the ground’ll be the death of me The ending is what I foresee where my last breath’ll be My foresight I seen the end in the beginning I hope my pair of shoes change to a parachute spinning cowering this couldve all been prevented spiraling Though now I’m left to fall for a minute The grounds distant but I swear his call is persistent ever coming closer and his howl is consistent I listen his voice can end it all in an instant Remember, me my last thought and mental vision Now place me in mother earth sternum I’m her infant that is when, the truth and ground finally hit him.

The Rainbow Lorikeet is unmistakable with its bright red beak and colourful plumage. Both sexes look alike, with a blue (mauve) head and belly, green wings, tail and back, and an orange/yellow breast. They are often seen in loud and fast-moving flocks, or in communal roosts at dusk.
The Rainbow Lorikeet occurs in coastal regions across northern and eastern Australia, with a local population in Perth (Western Australia), initiated from aviary releases.
The Rainbow Lorikeet mostly forages on the flowers of shrubs or trees to harvest nectar and pollen, but also eats fruits, seeds and some insects.
The eggs of the Rainbow Lorikeet are laid on chewed, decayed wood, usually in a hollow limb of a eucalypt tree. Both sexes prepare the nest cavity and feed the young, but only the female incubates the eggs.
The Rainbow Lorikeet has acclimatised well to urbanisation and is commonly encountered in well-treed suburbs.
