Hmm... think the two could be related?

How long are they supposed to lay?

They lay for about 18 months almost every day, then they molt...then they should start up laying again, but at a much diminished rate. Jar Jar, Roy and Benny Hen went through the molt...Jar jar lays almost as good now as she ever did. Benny lays pretty good. Roy isn't laying at all. The Americaunas (the newbies) lay every day, they are too young to molt.

So both Puffy and Roy are non-layers now...

Steve and I had a long talk about how it's gonna be on the farm. Each jedi can have one pet hen and that's it (after these 5 have gone on to their just reward). Then we'll be getting about 25 hens and rotating them every 18 months with a fresh batch.
