    Lots of reasons for no eggs this time of year. First, it is stressed, secondly as mentioned, not enough daylight. Thirdly, the change in it's diet will delay the laying as well. The dogs staring it down probably isn't easing it into laying mode. They Barred Rock is a decent producer of eggs.

    Irving standing there with some ky doesn't help. NO REALLY it makes the eggs come out easier, range AND Cruelty free.. Totally organic.

    I agree with the comments about stress. Chickens lay when they are comfortable. When we first got ours, we let them run the back yard. When we moved to a coop and a small run, they stopped paying and started fighting.

    We were watching "The Private Life of Chickens" yesterday, and this is a real thing. Hens with damaged ovaries grow a waddle and feathers on their legs, and even start crowing. No shit.

    Also, there are a bunch of "The Private Life of _________" documentaries on Netflix/Youtube. Cow/deer/plants/chickens/etc.

    Funny you mention that. I was working outside again all day today and had the barrel stove running. I hear my wife come outside and yell, "IS THE BARREL STOVE ON?!?!?!" I was like, yeah, duh, why?
    I look over and the chicken is just perched on top of it. My wife grabbed her off it and her feathers were all singed and I think one of her feet was bleeding, but the chicken didn't really understand why she got grabbed so hard.
