Just a concern regarding laying patterns.
I have 3 Black Australorps, 2 of which were laying. The first one was laying every other day until the second one started laying. For about 3-4 days I was getting 2 eggs, then they started spacing out, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, then one at night and one in early afternoon, till now. All I am getting is an egg a day. I realize that they could just be "leap frogging" each other on the laying. It seems a little strange to me that the pattern suddenly changed. They are behaving and eating normally and look healthy so I am not sure if I have an issue or if I am reading too much into the situation.
input would be greatly appreciated.
