Chirping
I currently have 28 chickens, of which 9 are a year and a half, 10 are ~6 months old and the rest are chicks currently being raised by their broody mother. Since this spring, I have been getting highly reduced number of eggs. I would expect 5-6 per day from 9 older hens. At best im getting 4 (Usually 2 or 3). I have started getting eggs from the 6 month old chickens, and am still maxing out at 4 a day. (2 big 2 small).
The chickens free range all day, so my thought is they may be laying somewhere else. I have checked everywhere and have no signs that they have another nest. What can i do? The production is just so low. They all seem healthy and happy.
Please help.
