For the last month, my six EEs have laid exactly zero eggs. It has been super cold (read single digits) here in Maine until two weeks ago but it has moderated more recently. Some of them are going through a molt but not all. Previously they have been steady 3-4 eggs/week layers and certainly last year this time-when they were just 3 months into their egg-laying careers-there was no drop-off through the winter.
I feed the flock game bird feed and keep the lights on for 14 hrs/day. They are also given kitchen scraps every third or fourth day.
Anyone had similar experience with EE production?
