I had 3 hens laying 2-3 eggs a day over a week they stopped laying any.
A week later I got 4 more “currently laying” hens- they have laid no eggs since I got them.
currently I have 7 hens and get 1 egg a day.
they have water and oyster shells(started this 5 days ago) whenever they want.
scratch grain hen feed 1/2 cup per chicken daily. They are free range so they’re getting all sorts of treats.
i locked them in their run for over a week and still no eggs- so they’re not laying at all(even if they are hiding them.
They’re not getting eaten by animals because I’m home all day and checking. They’re not eating their eggs and they have clean bedding in 3 nests.
I don’t believe they are molting- they all look pretty good and not losing feathers.
The weather hasn’t changed drastically- it has been smoky from fires- could that be it?
Who’s got ideas for what to try?
