Anybody know any tricks to make a hen lay. I have wormed her dipped her vitamins electrolytes probotics everything I know on green grass good feed . Idk what to do with this crazy roundhead hen. She is a 5×5 pen all to herself no stress just stubborn I believe. She was in a pen with a rooster she didn’t like and stayed up on the roost all day she has been in the 5×5 by herself for a week now
– Feed raw rice
– Fresh water daily and don’t overfeed
– If she staying on roost then she probably stressed. Put her in at least a 4×4 pen by herself for awhile.. leave her alone . And just put rooster in once every 3 days. yep all they need is space! Stress and female don’t mixed well bud.
– Red pepper ain’t gonna do it.. thats to get them laying late winter.. she gonna need peace and quiet..not to mention its molt time.
– Gonna try a old trick and get some red pepper and let her eat it.
– The weather has a lot to do with it nd game hens stop laying periodically.. not a production egg layer. All these tricks are for getting birds to lay for winter not a stressed out hen.
– Feed her dry cat food and I guarantee she starts laying
– Red pepper the kind you but on pizza
