Hi, I'm new here. My name is Maeve and I'm from Devon, UK. About 2 months ago I was given two 2.5 yr old warren type hens, lovely layers. Two large eggs a day for first few weeks and now practically nothing - like 1 standard size egg every two days! I have gone through the check lists and can't figure it out. Though fenced in, they have plenty of space and shade,. They have a nest box each, no red mite or health problems, been de-wormed..don't look like they're moulting, plenty or organic pellets and corn - more pellets than corn and a mix of treats from the kitchen, fresh water and I clean any poop out on an almost daily basis so they have fresh, clean bedding. I have checked for poisonous plants and other food stuffs They look to be happy, healthy hens. Have they just come to the end of their natural good lay ability? Have they been too hot the past few days? Could they be prepping to moult?
