    Had some struggles with my girls this last year!

    This past year I began with 24 hens, had a wild animal some how break into their pen and killed 10! Then they were in a molt for awhile with no production for it seemed like forever!

    almost all my hens are laying...why not all of them?

    I have 25 hens, 10 red pullets, and 15 black astralorps...I'm getting about 15-17 eggs a day. I find it funny I'm not getting 25 a day yet they are all 5 months old now. What could the problem be?
