Right? I always saw some leftover food in the bowl during winter, but towards spring, all I see is a bit of powder from the crumble.My girls seemed to become ravenous when they began getting ready to lay.

I saw some people say that they still got eggs from their hens even during winter, just much less. I didn’t get any, though it may have been due to molting.is it at a certain age that they stop laying in winter ?

Yes, sort of.do chickens eat more during egg production?
In that case, you should probably start providing more feed for them. Chickens will typically eat the right amount of food, if it is always available.I always saw some leftover food in the bowl during winter, but towards spring, all I see is a bit of powder from the crumble.
It depends on the breed, and on their exact age, and on how many hours of light they are getting. And probably a few other factors as well, just to keep us confusedis it at a certain age that they stop laying in winter ?
