Mad hens

[oaker8323]

I have been getting around 8 to 15 eggs per day for about 2 weeks. I had several Roos about 15 to about 25 hens i took away and put in a pen about 12 of those Roos one night and clipped all the chickens feathers. I keep then in seperate 6 ft tall runs trying to keep them from breed mixing. Every since that night I've gotten max 5 eggs in one day did I make the hens mad by taking away there guys or was it the weather turned back color for a week and lots of rain the cause.

You've changed something, chickens hate change. Even if all of those boys were worrying the hens to death, its still a major change for them. Give them some time to adjust and you should start seeing eggs again, probably even more since the stress of all of those roosters has been addressed.

Good luck
