Jon,

  I keep my outside runs covered with wire only so the hawks are not able to get a free lunch. My Polish are not able to see them with their crests and am surprised yours would.  I have never heard of this kind of activity stopping laying before.  I could be due to the weather, my bantams have stopped laying.

thank you but I thought so to but mine have stopped  malting already. I put mesh over mine to heck I put my golden lace to gether with the kock and she laid two eggs and that was it. I even got a knew addition. I put a lakenvelder hen  with my wight crested black and the same thing. she came from a different farm even. I'm trying to redo Connie Gillegens way of the black crested wight, for the nollege.
