My girls finally started laying around the end of October. I was getting approximately 2-3 eggs a day from 6 hens. One day I got 4. Now, for the last 2-3 weeks, NOTHING!!!
The girls are all late March hatches. That makes them almost 9 months old. Anybody else with this issue? I'm ok if they are just waiting til spring and are gonna crank back up. But I think they are too young to molt and it seems like they never really started good and now this. I probably got a total of 3-4 dozen eggs before production slowed to 1 or 2 eggs every few days and then stopped.
Their diet is layer pellets. Occasional treats, but not very often because I've read it can interfere with them not getting enough protein. I have not moved their coop or done anything else that would otherwise stress them. Just can't figure these girls out!
