Hi All!
We currently have 6 free range chickens, all female, who eat really well (layer pellets, organic scratch, scraps from kitchen, etc) and have access to water and grass all day. We are only getting 2 eggs a day from them though, and I'm not sure its ok! We had to dose them up on dewormer a month and a half ago, and they just stopped laying after that. Is this a normal thing? They are not laying anywhere else in the yard, we check daily. We are based in Phoenix, AZ, so theres no random hot to cold switch that we need to worry about, and they are not molting. They were all laying healthy, beautiful eggs, and then just stopped!
Is this normal? Is there something I can do to up egg production? Am I just being paranoid? I would hate for any of my ladies to be egg-bound or sick, but I am out of ideas!
