No idea on what's wrong with her but Australorps are usually prolific layers. So I'd say something is up. I hope someone can help you out on here.

I have a 10-month old Black Australorp who lays very sporadically - maybe one egg every two weeks. When she does lay, the eggs are elongated (to the point where they don't allow much clearance in an egg carton) and tapered to almost a tear-drop shape. She's got more personality than my five other hens combined (all five, a Barred Plymouth Rock, a Buff Orpington, a Silver-Laced Wyandotte, a Light Sussex and a Coronation Sussex, are prolific layers of normal shaped eggs) so I am particularly fond of my Australorp. But I'm worried that something is wrong with her egg laying apparatus. All of my birds receive the same type of feed, and are exposed to 14 hours of natural/artificial light per day (even in the winter). Any thoughts.
