After almost 3 months of severely depressed egg laying, I have to ask, is 2 and a half the end of the road for productivity for BAs?
I hear they would slow down a bit after 2 years, but this is major.
Until August 1, I had 9 hens laying 6 eggs a day (3 were coming into molting, so I cut them some slack).
Like someone flipped a switch, one hen went broody and the rest of the flock started laying 2 eggs a day on average (some days 1, some days 3- most days, 2). I know for a fact one egg is coming from my one year old, so of 4- 2 1/2 year old hens, I am getting one egg from them.
The year and a half olds are finishing up their molt, and I am hoping they will begin to lay again soon, but the 4 Big Girls are definitely being called into question.
Just wondering if this is typical or if something is severely wrong in my flock.
That is so wonderful! I look forward to spring when I can get my BA chicks. I am sure I will feel the same.I have 2 17 week old Australorps. I love having them and they are so fun to watch! They are still so little! Hope everyone is loves their Australorps as much as I do!
I could not have said it better myself. I am soaking up the knowledge and history being offered on this thread. Thank you so much! It is absolutely wonderful to know anything and everything about the BA.
