    Hens not Laying

    Until recently my hens had been laying 8-9 eggs a day. I have 12 hens, 4 of them are four years old, the other eight are 2 years old. This past week they dropped to 3 eggs, then 2, now I'm down to only 1 egg a day. I live in the south, so it is very hot right now, temps around 90-100, and very...

    I just picked up some oyster shell, fingers crossed. The older chickens appear to be going through a stress molt. They have feathers everywhere. The younger ones don't seem to be molting though.
