We have four hens, all have been laying good, almost daily till two weeks ago. Our white leghorn I think has gone broody. She will NOT get out of the nest box, I have tried getting her out, but she just eats a little scratch and some water and she is right back up stairs in the box. Our other girls seem to be picking on her a bit too, when I get her out they will run up and peck at her.
Additionally the egg laying has slowed way down! We have the WL, a RIR, and 2 barred rocks, and the only ones laying now are the barred rocks inconsistently. I have been constantly checking the boxes and having to move the WL but there are usauly no eggs.
Is something wrong or is the WL just broody and the other girls not laying because of this? When do the days get short enough to affect egg laying?
thanks
