Chickens stop laying -
So I introduced 18 young new laying hens to my older laying hens about three weeks ago. I also increased the nesting boxes in the coop in made a bigger dryer pen for all the hens to come in and out of. Since I have done that my older hens, about 18 of them,Have stopped laying their quota of eggs. I am only getting 4 to 6 eggs a day from them. They were lying about an egg a day. Any thoughts, they are getting along with the new young hands.
