I have 5 Buff Orpingtons and 3 Barred Rock hens that will be 2 yrs old this coming Mother's Day. We get 1 or 2 eggs a day, sometimes no eggs, and then there will be 6 eggs. Are my ladies getting to the end of their egg laying days?
Thanks for any insight.
I have one customer who pays $3/doz and one customer who pays $2.50/doz (because they are not fed organic pellets). I let my customers choose what they wanted to pay. The $ from egg sales just goes to buying pellets.
She is telling you to get away because you are disturbing her. We have one hen that makes this noise if she is in the nest box and you get near the box.
I caved and had to clean out the shavings this weekend. The dust was unbelievable and it was hard for me to breathe in the coop. The girls seemed to appreciate the new shavings too.
