I suspect that folks in SW Oklahoma and Central Texas are still in "drought mode," despite the flooding in NE Oklahoma and along the Mississippi River. "Feast or famine" seems to be the order of the day.
The heavy rain we got the other night helped, but we are still hurting. Our pond is still 4 feet below normal, 6 feet below full (at least). Both of my docks are still high and dry.
That is my measure for how things are going, weather wise.

OK My hens have decided to take a vacation from laying.
I am not getting hardly any eggs from 50 or so hens.
They slowed down after the cold front ten days ago or so and then we had the six inch rain and then muggy hot weather.
Nothing else has changed that I know of.
Anyone else suffering from an egg shortage?

Yesterday was my first slack day. 8 eggs out of 21 hens had been getting 12 to 15. I am going with the heat as the excuse, it dand sure aint the rain cause we aint got any.

Yup, my larger hens stopped laying. The smaller/bantam x types are still laying.

Am just coming out of a month long slump on egg laying hens that quit. I had Ivomeced the flock and they quit laying. Was getting 6 dozen a week! Now they all have lovely feathers again (took all that calcium) and I got 6 eggs yesterday from 28 hens...up from 3 the day before. Most of the flock is Australorps.
There was some discussion a few weeks ago between GotGame and someone else about eg production reduction and changes in feeding.

I need a broody so I can move some chicks out of the house.
looks like we lost another duck last nite...
so we have 1 duck and the gander...so the plan is to pen the remaining duck and get her some friends- so anyone have some? she is a welsh harlequin and very lonely.... we couldn't keep the other duck contained so any new ducks will have no free range privileges at all
