Hatching
Hoping someone might be able to help...I am helping a friend out with some research to why they have consistent low volume egg production and have done a lot of reading, but thought I would get some direct input:
+ 8 hens total, never have received more than 3-4 eggs a day
+ hens are about 1.5 years old and have had the same production since they started laying
+ They have a great hen house and coop that is cleaned daily and are protected from outside creatures and elements in a mild California climate
+ They have 24 hour access to fresh water and crumble
+ They are fed oyster shells, worms and garden scraps daily
+ They are fed scratch sparingly.
+ Is there anything else that can be done? Are there any supplements that are missing or a change to feeding that would help increase egg production? Any tips that might help us would be greatly appreciated!
