Hi Peggy,

I'm in the US so not familiar with what is in your area, but two
comments struck me:

2. the chook did not have any weight.(just skin and bone)
5. he only feeds them wheat & scraps.
It sounds to me like they are starving (which would explain not
laying).
I thought exactly the same thing.

Yup -- but probably one would only get him to admit it if faced with the bald fact in black and white on a postmortem report!
Even if folks had a go at him and he bought one bag of feed, the chances are he would not buy another ;(

Thanks Jill,
When he dose buy feed it is usely the cheapest and not always the best.
A bag to him has got to last so many weeks no matter how many chooks he has.
