Hey all! About half of my flock is not laying. Can I please get some feed back on food/diet? I’m feeding them all Home Fresh multiflock. I have a mix of ages. We’re running into shorter days but this all started before daylights savings (its been 3-4 months for my hens). With so many not laying it feels something is up. I’m more concerned with reason for my (3) older hens not laying (not in molt). They all get about 10% treats as well (fruits, veggies, BOSS, millet). They free range 2-3 hours a day currently.
HENS - All Spring of 2018 hatch - currently a little stressed due to guinea moving in but was experiencing this before I introduced her
(2) Easter Egger
(1) Buff Orpington
PULLETS
-(1)Crested cream legbar (4/24/20 hatch) started lay mid October for 3-4 weeks and stopped. No egg since
-(2) Double Laced Barnevelders (5/5/20 hatch) as far as I can tell - only one out of two has been laying for a month in a half
-(2) Calico Princess (5/20/20 hatch) and again, as far as I can tell - only one out of 2 has been laying for a month in a half
The rest of my flock who are laying just fine:
-(1) Olive Egger
-(3) ISA Browns
Any help is appreciated!
