I have 6 BR hens, and 1 BR rooster. The hens are about 9 months old, and for the last 2.5 - 3 months I have been getting 5-6 eggs a day, every day! But for some reason in the last week I have only gotten a total of like 3 eggs. I thought maybe they were laying somewhere outside, so I kept them in the coop/run for the last 4 days but still no eggs. Their diet has not been changed at all so is there any reason they would all just stop laying eggs?
Im not sure if this is a factor, but one of my hens has been broody for about 4 days now. She sits in the nest box all the time, but theres no eggs in the box. Could her becoming broody have some influence on the rest of the hens?
Thanks in advance for any answers,
