We had some problems with the heat but the weather has cooled somewhat. We have added 5 more younger chickens 2 months ago and have two 1.5 year old broody chickens that seam to be hogging the hen house. We have a total of 11 chickens now and are only getting 2 eggs a day. We had been keeping them all in the pen for most of the day thinking they might be laying somewhere else and have a fan to circulate air. I recently added electrolytes to their water and moved the broody chickens to a different pen. Still only 21 or eggs a day. We were getting 5 or 6 every day. Do you think this is a phase? Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Marlene :/
