I swear my chickens switch off laying when im not the one looking after them, Ive been away for 4 days and my brother has been doing the daily chores with them and he says he has had no eggs at all.. I came back last night and went to see them ..gave them clean water etc ....and this morning, what's there waiting for me? .. a nice big fat egg, This has happened a few times when i go away .. It has to be more than coincidence.. Its like they know im their boss and i have the eggs ..noone else
Maybe having a 'stranger' in their coop makes them nervous and they hold off on the eggs until you, the 'right' person shows up? Just a weird, random thought.
