Hi,
I have eleven hens all under 2 years old who haven’t laid more than one egg a day (all together) since September, but they slowed even before that. None of them are production hens so I’ve never expected more than fourish eggs a day.
They have a 100 square foot coop for nights, and as much space outside as they want during the day. They eat Nature’s Best Layer Crumbles, have fresh water, and are (fairly) protected from predators.
I’m not really sure what to do but I’m on the verge of eating them and starting over. My dark Cornish meat hens are currently doing better in the egg department than my egg laying hens.
Any help would be appreciated!
Best,
Mary
