Hello from Texas Panhandle

[crbell1971]

Hello ya'll! I have approximately 30 laying hens (who are on strike for some reason - that is a later post that I intend to research and possibly submit post about)...about 10 grown roos (with the layers) - and no, they don't fight (well, maybe a couple of them have a little tiff every couple days). I also have around 100 chicks that are from 4 months old to 10/11 months old (they are kept separate from the layers (they are kept in the barn, while the layers are outside free-ranging and a coop at night). Anyways, I also have 6 Turkey toms (3 royal palm, a rio grande, a red burban, and a black) and 1 Turkey hen (rio grande). 19 ducks (13 females and 6 males. And last but not least, 2 Guineas (I am pretty sure they are both male -next door neighbor left with me because they had taken up roost with my chickens at least a year prior to her moving...). So... there you go.... again Hi ya'll!!!

Welcome to BYC. Short day length coupled with the stress of dealing with too many roosters are likely causing the low egg production.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens!

Sour is likely correct about the egg stirke!

They should start up again soon but this would be a good time to check and treat for parasites
