I have five laying hens that were producing four eggs a day. Sometime during winter that went down to two a day and stayed there until a few days ago and now there have been no eggs since. I have removed my wonderful rooster to another pen in order to allow the hens some time to get feathers on their backs to come in. The rooster has some serious spurs and has been hard on the hens backs and I was thinking this might have stressed the girls even though they all love their rooster. Caught one snake (rat) and two golf balls disappeared so perhaps there are two snakes out of business. Anyone got any ideas as to what might cause the hens not to lay? They are only two years old and should be producing regularly. I feed them "Layena" and lots of treats including pasta, apples and scratch grains.
