Less eggs than I expected

Maybe try some higher protein feed. Could they have hidden nests anywhere?

That's a good number.

No hidden nest I have enclosed run. What do you recommend for feed and amount/bird/day

Free feeding is best, fill a feeder (or two in your case) a birds eats about 4oz of feed per day

I had the same problem. I was also feeding them scratch and meal worms. I pulled the treats and noticed a difference.

I have two roosters for 25 hens. Do you think that’s too many roosters?

Sounds fine to me, but I am a newby.
And I know the question sounded flippant.
So that is a puzzle.
You are in the northern hemisphere?

I feed 18% all flock and right now still finishing up chick starter. It might be the protein level and mites. I treat with small amount of floating fish food (high protein) and my RIR is the first to gobble up.

Suggestions for treating mites?

Mites for coop and run. Spray everything with Permethrin. All surfaces and good skin contact with the hens, not just top of feathers. Repeat in 10 days. (I also spray 10 days later for good measure)

Oh sweetie I've never had any so far. I use wood ash pretty regularly as a deterant. Good luck, if it were me I'd look in articles on diseases for treatments. Or PM some of the medical experts.

There you go thanks humble. I love this site!
