I have 22 hens and 1 roo, I have 2 tiny female bantams and a small roo, the small bantams stopped completely laying about the time the big ones started,, I wasn’t worried as I mainly keep them cause they are cute. But my older ones have stopped laying.
They stopped about 3 weeks ago when we had a cold snap as I was getting the coop ready for winter, I finished the plastic lining and have the inside lined too with cardboard to keep them warm. They started laying again, never have I gotten more than 14 a day, but about 4 days ago they stopped completely again.
I have a light in the coop that stays on all the time, do I need to actually make them go in and lock them in the light at night?
Very frustrated, any help is appreciated.
