here is my latest layers report: back in december all 6 of our hens stopped laying, it was the day after I added a new substrate so I figured it was too much change too fast but the three older hens were heading into molt so I really didn't know what to make of it. the strange thing was that the three new hens that replaced a few I rehomed that had just started laying also stopped abruptly. so I took advantage of the fact that I ran electrical out to the coop underground this summer and plugged in a light and timer and extended their day back to 14 hours. a few started laying again about a month ago and now all 6 are laying with abandon, 5-6 eggs a day. during molting I mixed about 30% high protein grower crumble in with their egg laying formula to help them get their feathers back quick.
