I'm new to the site as of today, but was reading some of the question and answers a few days ago. Observation #1, I had no idea chickens lived that long. Observation #2, I had no idea a chicken laid eggs practically it's whole life. So we're really new at the farming thing. 5 mini horses and 10 chickens about 2 years old. ( 1 rooster ) My girls have stopped laying eggs for the last several weeks. 1 yesterday, 2 today. Any suggestions on whats going on? They free range, I have poop on my front porch and no more flowers in my garden to prove it. I averaged 6 to 9 eggs per day all summer so it is a noticeable difference. Does anybody have a guard rooster? Mine challenges any new comer to the yard regardless of who or what, plus he sets and crows of the porch in the morning until I either case him off with the hose or feed him some cat food.
Thanks
