Last year we purchased some new hens. One was an Araucana. I am not sure of her age, but my knowledgeable friend suggested she looked young.
Last year we got perhaps 3 eggs every two weeks from her. But since October last year, we have not had one egg! I know this as they are blue obviously!
I kept thinking 'they will arrive when summer comes' but i think summer has now passed and we don't have anything. Any ideas why?
The rest of the flock have also been producing much less than last year. we have 12 hens. Most are a year old, two at most. Last year we were maybe getting 6 eggs a day, where as this year we are lucky if we get 3….often not getting any!
They always have the same food and fresh water. Thye have a run 10 times the size of their old one. They now have an automatic door, so are out longer each day.
Thanks!
