HI Guys
Over the past 3 -4 weeks, my 16 hens have gone from12-15 eggs per day to 9-10 eggs per day.
One has been broody for a good two weeks now and another one has been broody for a few days so I don't think thta accounts for the significant drop. I should still be getting 10-13 eggs a day if it's only two broody hens. The other girls don't seem to be broody or least not as nest obsessed as the other two. There has been no chnage in feed or water. They did have a bit of a cold about 3 weeks ago but are fine now. I have submitted a fecal sample to the vet today to make sure they do not have worms of some kind.
Could it be there are more that are getting broody? Any suggestions?
Thanks
