I got 7 silkies in April. 1 died in July. 1 started laying consistently in August everyday. Now mid-september we started getting about 4 per day. This morning a coyote killed 3,2 are ok, and 1 is missing probably dragged off by the coyote. Searching for 1 i checked the hen house, not in there but there was an egg that I took out. I locked the 2 left in the hen house to keep safe since that darn coyote was circling my yard. When I went out a few hours later to let the hens out, there were 8 eggs in the nesting box, 7 were still warm. So I had 9 eggs in 1 day. I guess the coyote scared the eggs right out of the 2 girls.
