I'm super new at this. I have adopted 4 hens. I'm not sure who is doing the laying, but I have 2 bantams and 2 regular sized and one roo. I am only seeing 1 or 2 (max) eggs a day. Do I collect the eggs every day?
If I leave an egg in there will they lay more? Do I gather them to encourage them to lay more? I have no clue...
How long can they go uncollected if one has intent to eat them? I don't want to fertilize any at this time - just want to eat them.
Also, I'm wondering if they are all a little stressed about the move. It's only been about 2 weeks.
Some are large and brown and some a small and creamy colored.
Sorry for the grab bag post of questions.
Thanks!
