I have a lovely mixed flock of about 45 birds. I just returned from being gone for 3 weeks, and my egg production has come to a near stop.
Prior to leaving I had 8 mature hens and was averaging 5 a day. I had 5 more pullets that are now 25 weeks old. So in my calculations around 13 chickens who should be laying.
I am lucky if I get 1 egg a day now. Have been home almost a week and only have 4 eggs for these past 6 days.
What to do to get my girls laying again?
(Breeds that were laying BR, BO, Bantam SLW)
