I have had laying hens for a few years now. They are the hybrid type you get at your local farm supplies store. Each year when they hit about 2 years old, production drops off dramatically. For example, right now from my 10 two-year olds, I am getting 1-4 eggs each day. As a result, I have been culling them at this age. Is it possible that it is just molting and production will get close to an egg a day from each again? Or is it most likely an age thing that they won't recover from? I am wondering if I have been doing the right thing by only keeping laying hens up to 2 years of age?
