I have 2 hens (1White Rock, 1Turken) that would lay fairly regularly last spring and summer. During winter I would only get eggs from my turken and that was pretty sparingly but it was winter so I wasn't really concerned. Now it is summer and I have only been getting 1 egg every 3-4 weeks out of the turken and nothing from my White Rock. The only changes have been the loss of 2 roosters and addition of 5 new chicks. The rooster was fairly rough with both of them but particularly to the turken but I though production would get better after he was gone. And the hens both run herd on my chicks so I don't think that would be the problem.
Their diet is layer crumbles and scratch combined and whatever table scraps we throw to them and they have free access to outside and plenty of water. Here is a pic of the coop:
The nests used to set on top of the boards but they would just roost on them and knock them over so I put them on the floor.
Any suggestions on why they wouldn't be??
