Hello people, Please my 86 layer birds have not start dropping eggs and tomorrow will make it exactly 22 weeks old of there age. I belive that by 18 weeks they should start laying. I groom them right from Day old Upto this stage and I gave them necessary vaccine and not a single one have dropped any egg. I'm beginning to get worried as I believe they are due. Any help will be appreciated so others can learn too.

Have you met any Vet? What's the breed of the chicks? You didn't attach any picture? What is their weight... I know weight is a major factor that may likely affect egg production in birds.

In Ernest, I will advice you visit vet within your locality for proper consultation. Public opinion may ruin and make matters worst as we can only assume by what you said and not what we are able to see or assess.

All the best.

You are giving them the wrong meal..

Hmmmmm

1, maybe their feeding was not right
2, maybe the feed /drugs you used was wrong
3,I also hope it's not cockerels you bought

Regardless look for a good Vet within your locality to take a look at them.

Let’s have the following info:

The amount of feed are you giving?
What’s the breed?
How much light being given?
Deep litter or caged raised?
What vaccines have you administered?
Were they ravaged by IBD at an earlier time?
What antibiotics have you administered?

Furnish us with the above listed info.

At 17 weeks, I switched to a formulation prepared by self called pre layers feed recommended by an expert in layers and they ate that for like 3 weeks before it was advised to swtich back to grower pending when they will start dropping. The vaccines given to them so far its Lasota, gomboro, deworm and multivitamin... I don't know the precise weeks they were administered. They once had Newcastle disease that affected them in their neck and it was controlled. They are on the top feed, and I use them deep litter system.
They are currently feeding on Livestock Feeds. 1st pix is Week 17, 2nd pix is Week 20.

The attached pix are broilers and not layers.

Try Vital Feed Layers. Thank me later.

stitcheD:
Don't mind above posts. Call your supplier ascertain if any of his customers has the same problem as you. It may be breed or hatchery related. Then I hope you never gave them any Sulphur containing drug. What feed are they on now?

Top feed but currently on Livestock feed

I

Bad layers feed is probably the cause.
You need to start feeding them original layers feed it might take some weeks before they start laying.

I didn't upload that pix, I have updated the pix in the second page. Check above

They will start dropping any moment from now. It happens sometimes. Same thing happened to our last laying stocks. Started dropping about 23weeks plus. Might be as a result of the feed (Type, Quality or Quantity) they were fed in the course of the brooding and grooming. Rationing not enough feeds for them in the course of raising them might cause some weeks setback before they start dropping. Some environmental factors might set in as well.

You are very right,because in their 17-18th week, the feed was switched which might have affected them.

With the way you described their upbringing I hope you’ve not over fed them cos when layers become too heavy they won’t be able to drop eggs cos the fats will be blocking their egg production.

This is the reason why layers are always very lite.

CHECK FEED.....
GIVE THEM EFFECTIVE LAYERS MASH AND CALCIUM/VITAMINS

I attached pix in the second page. You can kindly check it out to deduced their heaviness.

I saw the pics but Their size on the picture cannot be used to determine their heaviness.

Layers are usually supposed to be very lite when carried asin seriously lite. Also they need a lot of water.

Have you switched to layers feed.
If no, are you buying their growers feed ready made or you’re mixing it at a local mill.

If it’s ready made them maybe you should consider switching to layers mash but if it’s is mixed locally then you should speak with the people that are handling the recipe.

In all you need to speak with an expert before it’s too late.

I’VE SEEN THE INFO YOU PROVIDED TO SOMEONE SO THE QUESTIONS I ASKED HERE ARE NOW IRRELEVANT.

What’s their current weight?

My own birds are doing fine and cool, and I'm expanding sef... From when they were Little, do you administer the right dosage of drugs? There's a particular drug Mine take monthly with dano milk with very cold water, are u sure they are not males? Did you feed them rightly with the starter food for Good eight weeks? As all these affect the size of the eggs, and when they lag eggs... Have u taken time to check the birds and see if there's anything wrong physically like something strange, anything!

I don’t think going back to growers mash was the best advice. Growers mash was supposed to give them the hieght and weight they need to start laying eggs and once they’ve attained that height then theirs no need for growers again.
