Hello guys!
I am sure this is a very old question on here, but I am at my wits end, and decided to post and ask what the heck is wrong with my chickens. So. I have 18 chickens that are 25 weeks old today. I am getting 7 eggs a day right now where I should be getting about 1 1/2 dozen . Here are my breeds:
1 White Leghorn. (She is laying)
4 Welsummers
3 Buff Orpingtons
5 Silver Laced Wyandottes
1 Black Australorp
4 Speckled Sussex
1 Light Brahma (She is laying)
So those are the breeds, is it just customary for alot of these to start super late?
~They are being fed Non GMO, Soy free, laying mash.
~13 hours of daylight right now.
~They are contained in a Premier 1 poultry net, so they have a free range environment, but in a safer way, and I move the fence when the grass gets worn out.
~7 roosters (Yes I know that is WAYYY too much, I am trying to get rid of some)
Thanks for your input!
