I hope I am putting this thread in the right forum. We got our production reds beginning of spring 2019. They have been absolute wonderful egg laying hens, they even laid eggs all throughout throughout that coming winter and didn't seem to miss a beat. I know that chickens slow down their production at some point. It has now been two weeks since they have laid one egg (we have 4 hens). Eggs are seeming rare...I have looked to see if perhaps they are hiding eggs somewhere, but not finding any at this time. Are we coming up to that point where egg production is at an all time low just because of winter or in general? Could it be something I'm doing or could the chickens just be slowing down? When are chickens normally slaughtered for meat?
Thank you for your time!
