There are a ton of wild chickens in my area that have become really aggressive w my hens, trying to enter their gated area, chasing them when they forage the property, etc. there are many wild roosters too. I noticed the past week, even more wild roosters and wild hens (w their chicks) are coming around and this has seemed to happen simultaneously with a drop in my four hens laying as regularly. Typically, I get three to four eggs a day from them. Since this influx of wild chickens, it has dropped to one or even zero a day. I’m new to chickens and unsure if this could really have an impact on their laying or if it’s something else. I’m not sure what the best way to handle the wild ones coming around is. There’s just so many of them. What are your thoughts?
