After 15 years of not buying eggs...please help

[Jerry19pavich]

Had chickens for 15 years, we had a little egg farm going on mama made 1000 a month, her retirement money. Well Wife got 3 chickens from somewhere... we where so busy due to having a baby, the part where they said the black tiny chicken eats eggs didn't click. now we have 25 chicken egg layer and all eggs are gone. Very sad
I am feeding them a lot more but still no eggs.. no eggs no breakfast, no eggs no preproducing. Very sad
What do you think?

So are you saying one tiny chicken is eating all of your eggs?
Have you witnessed it (found egg shells and other evidence)?
Out of your 25 chickens, what are their breeds and ages?
Why did you bring in 3 chickens from outside? Did you quarantine?

the part where they said the black tiny chicken eats eggs didn't click.

Who are "they"? What did they say exactly? No single chicken is capable of eating 25 eggs a day (or however many you are getting out of 25 layers). More context is needed. Maybe they have stopped laying for the season. Maybe a predator is sneaking in stealing eggs. Lots of possibilities but not much to go on.

Agreed this post needs more information, it's too cryptic to understand.

Maybe be the one taught everybody else? That would indeed be a big problem. If the are in lay and it's not something else, maybe roll away nesting boxes? Seed everything with ceramic eggs?

If that many chickens were eating that many eggs, there would be signs. Wet nesting box bedding, egg slime, egg shells… a significant drop in feed consumption… Something.

What exactly do you feed them?

too cryptic

That's an apt description.

I assumed after 15 years of raising and making $1000 a month the poster would know what to feed.
2 dozen eggs a day still doesn't come out to $1k a month.

Perhaps this is a troll.
The OP hasn't been on since that psot.

I wish trolls were more well-spoken.
