No eggs....what's up....any suggestions?????

[amcconnell]

I have 9 laying hens, 1 roo, 5 pullets and 3 cockerels. About 3 months ago egg production dropped dramatically. I thought it was due to this strange weather we are having in TN and waited it out bit.I started to notice runny poo and as I inspected I saw some round worms. I gave wazine for the 1st round and then 10 days later Ivermectin 1% about 10 days ago. I'm still just getting about 1 egg a day.....when will they start laying again or could something else be going on??????? Perplexed!!!!

Inspected hen house tonight and found some red mites on floor under shavings. I checked 2 hens but no sign on them....I will check more of the chickens tomorrow night. If I see mites then I'm assuming I have a problem....right???? Time to thoroughly clean hen house and treat chickens! Maybe this will get things back to normal with egg production.
