Hi all,
We have a flock of about 75 chickens, a few different breeds. Maybe 12 of them are about 2 years old, and the rest are a year to year and a half.
We had consistently been getting 50-60 eggs a day for many months, but over the last 4 months or so this has dropped to an average of 24 or so.
We are in Maryland and had a fairly hot summer, but as it is cooling, the count is going even lower. I have heard that molting can result in a drop, at least for a few weeks, but this seems persistent.
Does anyone have any idea what may be the cause of this?
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
