Hi, the day forest fire smoke, mainly from distant fires, entered our valley, our 9 laying hens acted very tentative and that day we got only 2 eggs. Usually we get 5 or 6. The next day we got 3 and it went like that for 4 days. Only yesterday my partner found 14 eggs under the coop, where they get a little dry dirt bath, like they so like. So I layed down straw under there and today found one egg with egg smeared on it. Seems they ate one. Maybe they need calcium. I have dried egg shells in preparation to feed them back. Now seems the time. It's on my plate for tomorrow.
