We created our own flock. Now-a little too late did I understand that you should seperate the newbies. Ours were added 2-4 at a time until I had 12 adult hens. They are getting along for the most part, really well. I do have one that is hanging out a lot in the coop near the rafters but does come out and eat and forage in the run.
Anyway. We are getting about 4-6 eggs per day. They are all supposed to be seasoned layers about one year old. They are getting lots of goodies to eat, have a huge coop and run and will soon be free ranging. Am I silly to expect more eggs? They could still be transitioning. I have added the last 6 hens two weeks ago. Am I being impatient and they will lay a little more as time goes on? I was thinking about 6-8 eggs per day. A few days we just have two or three.
