My first post here so sorry if its not allowed or in the wrong place!
We are at a complete loss!
We have an established flock of 20+ hens, they haven't had a rooster for quite a long time now, we have 6 young but the rest are all several years (3-6 years) into laying age. Up until recently we had been getting roughly a dozen eggs daily and we know this wanes with molting brooding etc.
But the issue now is that we are getting 1 a day if that!
Food and feeding frequency hasn't changed, they dont seem sick, we've added mealworms and electrolyte water supplement to see if that would help and no change. The only major thing that has changed is they went from being completely free range to having a large fenced in area. However this was 6ish months ago and egg laying didnt slow down so much until about a month ago.
Hopefully you all can give us a few ideas of what is going on with our girls. We are at our wits end with them!
