Hi all,
I just recently moved my flock of six bantams into a new and much larger coop and run. A few days later, we introduced 2 new chickens to the flock. Since then, we have gotten very few eggs. I'm fairly certain the stress of the new coop and the new chickens is the cause, however I'd love to hear if anyone has any good suggestions on how to get these ladies back to laying!
My original 6 bantams were such loyal layers, each laying daily even in negative degree weather in the dead of winter! But now, in beautiful August weather, we are getting nothing (maybe 1 egg here and there). All my chickens receive a great quality layer feed, scratch as a treat, and veggie scraps. All also get free range time daily. The chickens have all adjusted well with one another too (finally!)
From what I read, this can take weeks/months to work itself out. I don't want to wait that long for yummy eggs
Any suggestions????
