Hi Tami, I don't think your chickens need any help, you on the other hand....?:) The fact that you are getting any egg at all tell me you have at least one really laid back hen the other one will come along.

> Hi guys. Another question already. I'm not sure if I should be concerned. Saturday morning I picked up a Wyandotte and a Buff Orp. We were up north a little ways so they stayed in a temp shelter. I said goodnight to them around 10pm Saturday and on Sunday around 8, was greeted with a broken egg. No biggie. During church ( they were together in a cage in the back of the rig, another egg was laid. Great! 2 eggs in less than 24 hours!! Whoo Hoo. They're both laying. Yippee. Since Sunday egg during church (between 10 and 12) I have gathered 1 egg every day about 11:30. Mon, Tues, today. No more, no less. Just about 11:30 on the dot. This is causing me concern that maybe the other isn't laying. The girls are supposedly 9 months old and have been confined to the coop so I know they're not laying else where. 4 eggs in 4 days? I'm probably being a worry wart but I just want to make sure. They are eating grain and are able to peck and scratch to eat all the worms they want from the ground (no floor in the coop), I was told when I picked them up that sometimes they might back off laying but then once they settle in they'd be right back at it.
