Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone out there can help me solve this mystery that plagues me daily.
The facts:
1) We have 5 Hens, all 9 months old. Two Plymouth Barred Rocks, Three Buff Orpingtons.
2) First egg was laid Sept. 27th (four months ago)
3) The hens are fed 16% protein, Scratch and Peck Feed mixed with “Fresh Eggs Daily” Breakfast of champions extras
4) They are out of their house all day, and allowed to free range in their chicken yard.
5) All seem to be quite happy, and have full fluffy feathers, dark red combs and seem very content.
The Mystery: Ever since we got our first egg, we have been CONSISTANTLY getting 4 EGGS A DAY. WHERE IS THE OTHER EGG? Is someone not laying? Is this normal?
I have SCOWERED over their yard, raking every inch of it to see if someone has decided to find somewhere else to lay, nothing.
I have never found a broken egg, and I know none of them are eating the eggs.
Can anyone help solve this mystery?!
Thanks so much in advance! Y’all are always the best!
