my 3 golden comets and one of my easter eggers are still laying daily while the other easter egger lays a couple times a week and both of my french black copper marans have stopped laying altogether
I have 10 hens and 2 are going thru a molt so I know they won't be laying. But I have not got any eggs in close to 2 weeks from the other 8. I don't know what is going on.
My eight older girls are mostly in a moult, so we are down to maybe one to three per day out of the eight. The younger girls (February hatch, with one still brooding) are down to one to five per day. Egg production is down over last year, but owing to the moult, and the sudden cold weather and storminess, I am not too surprised.
Wow, those are surprisingly low #'s. We have 13 hens, one is broody and are usually getting 5-9 eggs per day. We're in Iowa. This is our first fall with chickens so I don't have anything to compare to. To those who have very few eggs do you have any ideas??
