The ones who are almost 3 years old seem not to be laying much I'm only averaging a dozen to 14 eggs a day. The big girls are not molting and are healthy nothing that I know has startled them.
The girls who are not laying much are red sex links.....( I will never buy sex links again I like wyndotts). I guess my question is......Is my laying problem the breed of the older hens are something I'm doing? The girls have so much room other chickens driving by get envious lol. They forage from dawn to dusk we feed mash from our feed mill and kalmbach layer feed daily we add each food to different feeders. I provide lots of fresh water. I follow dawgs advice on worming. I use a poop board and clean it, I have plenty of ventilation.
The girls are not molting.
Am I getting the correct amount of eggs for the number of chickens I own or is it the breed.
Oh I do have one older hen a wyndotte and she still lays she is almost 4.
