factory farmed layers that don't lay eggs?
They must be going through their molt, a time when they shed their feathers and stop laying eggs for most of the winter months. She should start laying again in the spring. If you are referring to factory farmed meat birds then they are too young to lay by the time they are ready for processing. Most meat birds are processed before they reach 60 days old (two months). Chickens do not lay eggs until they are at least 150 days old (five months).
