Do you guys find that with all your layers? Mine seem to go in waves, 5-6 eggs for a week and a bit then a couple of weeks of 1-2 eggs. Ive been surprised its not been a more consistent laying thing, wth 7 chooks I thought we would be giving them away we would have so many but nope, now and then I even have to buy a box.
I do wonder if the broodiness is affecting it. And I dont mean the obvious they stop laying when they are broody, I mean everyone seems to stop. We were going really well then Al who is a cranky thing with everyone else at the best of times got broody and suddenly I think nobody wanted to go in the box with her to lay LOL Ive not had more then 2-3 eggs since but it was only one broody hen not 3 or 4 but thats how much the egg production dropped by.
