. Oh no! I am terribly sorry to hear this. However, I notice that you keep a light on in the coop. That is one thing that I do not do. Actually, I do very little. Because I want my chickens to act natural, I do my best to give them a natural up bringing and life. I provide a coop, nest boxes, water, and feed in the winter when plants, insects, frogs, lizzards, etc. are not plentiful. Our stock are hatchery stock from Murray McMurray and Meyers hatcheries. So it may not be the best stock. We handle our birds as chicks to assure us that we will be able to handle them as hens and roosters. Everyday these birds face predators and the outside temperatures and elements. We get at least 5 eggs a week from each hen when they are not in a molt or broody. I do notice that egg production picks up in our overall production when they are fed sprouted beans and fermented feed versus dry milled food. We do have a mixed flock, but Welsummers and Langshans make up the majority. I pray that your egg production picks up. And soon!!!I took the advice of those proponents of Welsumers, and, so far, have been overwhelmingly disappointed!
I bought 4 pullets & 1 cockerel in Apr / May 2016, and have only been getting ONE egg every 3 days. This being nearly Jan, that's pretty poor. The brown eggs are speckled, not very dark. The birds look at earthworms as if they are aliens. I bought another 8 that were hatched in June from a different source, nothing out of them yet either. Somebody, please tell me it gets much better??!! Yes, I have lights on in the coop, 16 hrs.
