I recently started logging my hen's egg laying habits in hopes to catch a drop in egg production if it could be a symptom that something was wrong. Well, I may have just noticed a drop in egg production. The young bantams are the only birds laying currently, and I was actually impressed that they were laying this early in the season. Either way, they have been laying pretty consistently for a few weeks now. I'd get 3, maybe 4 eggs a day? Sometimes only 2, but thats to be expected. I have 5 bantam hens in that flock that are laying. Recently, maybe 4 days ago, they suddenly stopped. I just started this log almost the day of the egg production drop, which I think is actually what made me think of it. For the last 4 days I've had no eggs. Maybe 1 the second day of "the drop", but that was a few days ago. Should I be concerned? Maybe I'm just paranoid because of the whole AI going around, and since that is a symptom.
They're acting fine, weather hasn't changed and its only getting lighter each day. Thoughts? I've dug through the bedding in the coop every morning encase they're getting buried. They aren't laying them in the run. This seemed to show up right after I moved their perch during coop cleaning, but I doubt that would cause it? Thanks for the help everyone, maybe I just need someone to tell me I'm paranoid.
