I'm an old hand at chickens but I'm completely stumped! I had one old hateful hen who has seen her faithful egg laying come to a halt.
Being widowed, I decided I DO want a hen or two. So, I got two 4H pullets the first part of Sept. I got an egg a day for 3 days and then 1 a day sporadically.
I have gotten 3 'Fart Eggs' this week and a normal one today. They are enclosed but have a good size outdoor run (2 chain link dog pens end to end, covered with mesh to prevent air borne threats away.). They have an entire barn stall as their house. There are 3 roomy nests inside and 1 out under a covered 'loafing' area.
What in the heck could be wrong?
Feed is too expensive and water too hard to carry to these loafers.
