I'm confused about where I should post this, but here goes. I originally wrote to ask for help with my hens who were not laying. Thank you so much for your many suggestions. We had 4 hens and 3 roosters. We gave away the two most aggressive roosters. Within 2 days we started getting 4 eggs a day, including blue and pink...Hurray !! They were definitely over-roostered. The remaining docile rooster is breathless at his unexpected good luck. All is well.

Yes, you were spot on! Too many roosters stress out the hens enough that they can stop laying!! I am glad you got your flock calmed down and are now getting eggs!

I'm glad to hear things have straightened out now in your flock without the excess roosters. )
