My chickens were unfortunately out during the Hurricane. That’s actually not a bad thing because a giant oak uprooted and landed on their coop and squished it to splinters. I haven’t been able to find even one egg in a month and a half. My fences are all down and the chickens were roaming into neighboring yards and I thought they must be laying somewhere outside the yard. I fixed the fences at least to where they can’t get out, but that was 2 weeks ago and still no eggs. I’m just assuming that the terrifying storm, losing their coop, and the yard looking a great deal different than it used too (no trees standing) has made them stop laying. My old RIR hasn’t laid in a good while anyway, but my Isa Brown was laying every day and the Easter Egger was laying. Any thoughts or suggestions? Should I think something is wrong? If it weren’t both of the layers, I would think maybe one was ill? Oh and they don’t have a coop yet. They are in a temporary spot and aren’t real happy with it.
