Well aart tried it in four different coops all had the same result. A local farmer told me the trick and I only left them on for the first twenty four hours after that I shut them back off. It worked I changed nothing else. I'm going to add lighting to the coops and put them on a timer two hours...

Update: It was season change I guess. I tried an experiment and added lights. Left them on for twenty four hours next day eggs. Not a lot of lights just some LED's and presto eggs. Thanks for all the help

Thanks I'll check it out.

What is fermenting the feed?

Where are you located? I am in Mooresville NC. By the way awesome puppies I had my Great dane till he was ten. So is the Flock Raiser better than the Layena?

I'm sorry I missed the question about switching to laying pellets... I switched after they slowed down so that would be about three weeks ago. I was getting excited because I started getting more and more eggs. The grandbabies love collecting the eggs because the easter eggers were starting to...

Yes and I had that problem last year with the Brahmas and solved it by building rollout nests for them.

Thanks for your post and yes all my chickens. I'm sorry everyone is getting hung up on the 200 number. I messed up on actual count per coop because I did not feel it was pertinent. The most I have in any one coop after counting today is 31 not 40. I realize they don't have the maximum space...

This was my first thought as well I set up my trail cams and came up with nothing. Also it is all my chickens, the ones out at the big house and the bantams my son has in the show pens which are inside the garage.

I did not mean that you were attacking me aart. I was speaking of the first couple of posts one of which the person deleted what they said or edited it. I was stating to you that I understood your posts but did not believe it was the problem as I have been keeping chickens for the better part of...

Mods please delete my thread as I am finished with this site. There is no need to attack someone for asking a question.

That is just the house they have 160 square foot of run as well. I guess I should have known when I was attacked in the beginning that I was not going to get any help. I understand the optimal size of the coop/run Aart I know how to add but thank you for the math lesson.

Not into egg sales.I just like the chickens. I started out with the Light Brahmas ( of which I have only nine in a 10X18 and have stopped laying as well) But I saw all the different breeds and started buying different ones I liked and my grandchildren liked and now I have raised them all up. I...

My chicken houses are five foot front to back ten foot left to right and five foot tall. They are attached to runs that are ten foot wide by sixteen feet long by seven feet tall that gives them 160 square feet of floor space on the ground and fifty square feet in the house. I have six of these...

Sorry did that wrong. They are in a 5x5x10 not a 5x5

Some had started laying but then everyone stopped including my eighteen month old light Brahmas which are in a separate coop.

No they are not separated by breed but by age. There are approx forty birds in each of the six coops.

Whoa I had no intention of being rude or rushing anyone. I simply responded with the answers and then several hours later after realizing that a lot of people had looked at my post but no one seemed to have any answers I commented. Thank you all for the very nice welcome I received for a first...

Well I guess providing all the information that was asked did not help.
