Hi everyone hope to get advice from those experienced keepers.
My bluebell Penny is 3yrs old and is usually a great layer (5perwk) but over the past week she has laid 2 shell less eggs late afternoon in the garden not in nest box and since then nothing...This is day four of no egg from her.
We have recently added to our flock but had kept them seperated for a week then started letting them roam together for another week before they were put into the big coop together. (It's a huge coop so lack of space is not the issue
I'm concerned as I can't find much info on end of lay age guides. Is this an age thing or because of the new girls? Should it have been a longer integration period?thanks for any help.
