I have 14 laying hens from 1 year to 2 years old. In the fall I was getting 10-12 per day. Production went down when the winter came. As winter ended production went back to 10 per day average. Now that it is spring and 75 degrees during the day, I am only getting 2-3 per day. Most of my hens molted in late spring so I know that can't be the problem. They all look healthy, but are not getting near the nesting boxes. They are locked up so I know they are not laying in the woods. I have watched for snakes, but there have been none.
spring is normally prime time for laying, right??
