So one of my three 23 week olds started laying about 1 little egg every other day last week... But, now she's stopped completely! I had an old trash bin w/pine shavings as a nest box but it cracked, so I've replaced it with a 5 gallon bucket - could the change make her not want to lay?
She only layed once in the trash bin, once on the coop floor, and once in the grass of the backyard... But its been a good couple of days and she hasn't laid anywhere! Is she holding it in? What gives?
I have a tarp covering the run of the coop since we've had so many Florida rain showers lately, but I wonder if maybe it's almost too much shade, do they need more light?
Agh, I just dunno - I got so excited to FINALLY get eggs by at least one of them, and now.. nothing.
What gives?
