Hi!
I’ve had chickens for three years. My current flock is half 2-3yo and half new layers (6-12 mo). When they free range in the back yard they seem to lay fine, but every time I restrict them to the very shady run behind our fence, they stop laying. Out of 9 chickens I’m only getting 2-3 eggs a...
So I was wondering what could be some reasons chickens don’t lay eggs? I have a cool with 22 birds in it and only get about 5 eggs a day.... there is some older hens in the flock and 1 duck he's a boy so I know about 5 birds that aren’t laying eggs...
