How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?
- Thread starter blueseal
- Start date
Hi I will try and help if I can, but need more information.....
1.How old and what breed are they?
2. How long from POL(point of lay) when they started (be specific date)to when they suddenly stopped?
3. What are they eating?(include everything even grass etc when they free range)
4. Are you sure they aren't hiding the eggs out in the yard?
5. Are they healthy? poop good? when you pick them up do they feel soild and strong?
( don't worry about egg bound, if they have an egg in their oviduct it will be layed not stuck it's all involuntary muscle,
stress can cause a stop, but any egg that had started would have come out.)

I think it's a "Chuckar" oooh there tasty, it is a non native partridge, we have ferel populations here in Idaho, very challenging upland game bird to hunt. I see them alot while fishing in resivoirs from our boat, they like the steep steep terrain along the banks.

Had a Partridge this morning hang out with the Chickens, I think they call them Quackars here in North America. Saddly my Chicken chased it off and it headed into the scrub down the creek. "Are'nt Partridges suppose to be in a group?"
Love the chick pics, so sweet!
We got 8 eggs today but for the previous 2 days we only got 5 each day. We thought they were in a slump!

Only 8 yesterday out of 24
I really don't want to add extra light but at this rate they aren't paying for their own feed in egg sales anymore. Or it might be time to downsize...
ok here is some of your answers
they are a mix of breeds, one is a red sex link-looks like a rir, nr
the other two are supposed to be white leghorns, but one lays a white egg, the other a very light brown egg
the last one lays a significantly smaller egg that is more pointy..very creamy white. it might be our cochin banties/but not for sure
it got REALLY cold and VERY rainy here in the past two weeks. they aren't used to the weather being that cold and rainy. mom and i cleaned coop rearranged it, put down new bedding, closed it in more. we've just started letting them in the yard this past week/just added another light source too this week.
feed is the same, not changed it at all/eating, drinking, pooping just fine.
the bigger ones are 6 months old now, when they started 4-5 months old. the rir and one leghorn has been laying the longest
they've not laid for almost two weeks
i am hoping with letting them out in the yard, changing their coop, closing it in and adding light will get them going. i am fixing to seperate the ee's/polish and the muts soon. i am aquiring another chicken shed, they all have been together since the bigger ones were 3 months old. i am not seeing signs of molting...just don't know why they completely stopped laying. no one seems sick, they all act like normal, seem happy. no fighting, feather picking, they are mating as usual...
no they aren't able to hide nest, we sit out there with them while loose in the yard-so the dog can't get them...so whatcha think??
