My 3 7 month old chickens have been laying eggs for 2 months now we have been getting eggs pretty much everyday till the last 3 days there have been non. We live in northwest Florida and its Sept of coarse so is it just that time of year where they stop laying so much... this is my first time with chickens but my husband mother had chicken all the time so he grew up with them but he cant remember when they stop laying for the season . They also have not been eating as much of there pellets as they where a 2 weeks ago they use to pig out now they hardly eat unless they get scraps like bread and veggies. They seem active and healthy they have lots of water and food available they have shade and a big running yard and fans to cool them. I kinda think they are spoiled to scraps so they dont want to eat the pellets even though getting scraps is only a once a week maybe twice a week thing they really like them so I thought maybe I should not feed them anything else but the pellets... My husband said his mother feed scrap food almost everyday to her chicken and they where fine. I dont know any help would be great. Thanks
