My chickens were attacked by a coon 3 weeks ago, and they are still barely laying any eggs. 2 hens were killed and 1 was physical injured, but I think most of the other 7 hens weren't even in the attack (they were in the coop and the attack was in the run). Have you found that emotional trauma can really put off their egg laying and for how long?
Thanks.
