To explain my story, we have 32 hens and 2 roosters, this started as a pet project for the kids and absolutely blew up!!!! I have 5 late addition hens that are probobly still just a hair young to lay but getting close to that 5-6 month mark, 20 came from a CL ad were laying all summer and some started to moult, she told me she was still getting 6-7 eggs a day, the other few chickens are my original ones from spring and do not appear to be in any stage of moult. I feed them about a 75/25 20% pellet/corn they always have water, the coop is large enough according to any specifications i have read. I have not had a heater out yet but as its supposed to freeze tonight ill probobly start putting it out tonight. Yet I am only getting 2-3 eggs a day. What can i try to do to increase my egg output!!!! help!!
thanks in advance
