I have 1 broody and 12 other hens that are *supposed* to be laying. I got 4 eggs today. But in their defense, I'm expecting at least 5 of those to start molting.
I have 14, 7 hens and 7 chickies (almost 3 months) and am getting only one egg a day for awhile now. The buff orps are always broody, and when they are not, they are in molt. And now the winter is coming. The wild birds are eating all their food and I feel very discouraged. But I love them so will deal.
