Hi!! My family and I have several BCM'S. All hens are mature with very red combs. The problem is that we are getting only a couple eggs a day when we should be getting a couple dozen. They free-range, they have roomy nests, and there is a large window in their coop. We did read that they prefer their nests no more than 18 inches off the ground. Ours is currently about two and a half feet off the ground. Could this be our problem? The nests are getting lowered this week. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

How old are they?
 
The first batch is 8 months old & the second batch is about 6 months old. We have never gotten more than two eggs total a day. We have 25 hens.
