Last night the neighbors dogs started barking after we went to bed, I didn't pay any attention to it and fell back to sleep. Well this morning I let the hens out and noticed that a bucket, rake and hoe I had next to the coop were all knocked over, I picked it all up and let them out. This afternoon I got home and went to collect the eggs for the day, well out of 11 hens I usually get 9 eggs a day, but today I only got 5. My question is, if it was a predator trying to get into the coop and the hens feel threatened does their egg laying machine shut down this quickly?
