Hi,
I have 8 ducks and 4 hens that stopped laying eggs when I moved them. I kept them in a grassy dog run (10m x 10m) during the day and a chicken tractor at night until I built a coop/bird run. When I moved them to the coop with 5m X 10m run in the trees, they all stopped laying eggs. We changed food and gave them weeds we pulled but still no eggs. That was over a year ago. Then, I built a fence around the orchard and put the hens in the orchard; then they started laying eggs. Seems something is missing in the duck run in the trees. Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated.
