We have two two year old RIR, three two year old NHR and ten one year old Sagittas. We also have a Silkie rooster. This winter we were up to about 12 eggs a day. It was great. Then just after Christmas it dropped to 3-6 per day. The older five molted last fall and the younger ten don't appear to be in a molt. I've tried adding Cayenne to their food and water. I've also separated the rooster because he was making all of my hens bald and probably stressing them out. We are to about 6 a day now but they still are sluggish. The days are long and warm. They are free ranging a few hours a day. Any ideas why they aren't up to at least 10 a day?
