Hi
My 8 new hampshires are a fairly happy bunch. Recently egg production has dropped from 6/day to about 2/day.
Its summer here, temps around 30C so not super hot. Plenty of shade around the yard, plenty of water and food and grit for them. They have a huge comfy chook house and free roam our 800 square yards yard .
The only thing thats changed is me putting in a large vegie patch which they have full access to for dirt bathing etc.
So they have everything they could need. We have no issues with dogs or cats or vermin that im aware of.
They just all started laying in September last year, so they arent old. I cant find an alternate hidden laying spot either.
Any suggestions welcomed....am a bit mystified....
Thanks
