if the hens done she wont lay any eggs

she may be too keen and laying before the cock treads her

or the cock may not be coupling correctly of even infertile

 

change the cock and see what happens

[OLDYELLOW]

shes done her bit it's up to the cock to do his bit

I had the same problem with a reliable pair, some of the old boys gave me the same advice, clip the vent feathers and it worked, great advice that.

i would think so steven

never had to clip a hen before and a yearling cock shouldnt need clipped

as i said before try her with a new cock and see what happens

I was told a long time ago that if the hen still lays and the eggs are just yolk it is always down to the cock
