WELL , we figured out what was 2 of the problems why the hens were not laying .

1. One of the roosters were running them OUT of the coop preventing them from laying .

2. LESS daylight hours


We took rooster out of the main run and coop and put him in a run by himself .

and added 2 lights in the coop and 1 in the run of the main coop/run.

they had dropped to laying 2 eggs a day , and NOW they already up to 6 in the main coop. They better get BUSY and lay . WE have around 100 head and 70 - 80 are all laying age . to me 6 - 7 months they should be DROPPING EGGS BIG TIME.

NOT bad for 1 night with lights ON ... excited to see what tomorrow will bring .

Congratulation, I agree with you roosters can be very annoying, I eat two roosters so far and I gota new one he is getting bitten up every day by the hens and I warned him to be good otherwise he will be again my dinner.
