We have 3 little banty hens and at first they were laying eggs 3-4/day. they are confined to their coop which has a run built in under it - it is an A frame and they were living in it when we bought the coop. So, they certainly were used to being in it. I have noticed that there is a lot more poop - not runny just more formed stools than there were at first. I clean out their nests and living area almost everyday. I also am using a type of earth product - I forgot its name - that is great for keeping flies, lice and mites down and even fleas are repelled. The hens eat well and drink plenty, so I'm stumped at what has changed. We did ride the riding lawn mower this past weekend in the back yard near their coop, but that was only for a short time. Any suggestion? I'd really appreciate it! thanks
