We have 5 chickens. Got them in February. They are supposedly 3 yrs old or a little older.
They gave us 4 or 5 eggs every 2 days since Feb. This week they started giving 2 eggs every two days. Sometimes one a day, sometimes 2 one day and none the next.
It isn't winter, they aren't moulting, they are not free range. We considered something stealing them but can't see any evidence of holes into their pen, broken eggs, etc.
It has been warmer this past week than it had been.
What do you think? Would it help to leave a light on in their coop at night. Does that torture them or keep them up all night?
