Ellabean2004 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Having purchased a Cube and 6 chickens all settled well and we were getting 5 or even 6 eggs a day. We decided to add three new girls earlier this week and now egg production has fallen with only 2 or 3 a day and worse still only 1 egg today. The new chickens seem to have settled well although they get chased by the other a little and the original 6 still look fine with nice red combs. Is it normal to get such a fall off in egg production or do we have a problem. Any advice or observations gratefully received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 They will be unsettled by the new girls arrival, that's all. It might take a few days to get back into the swing of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellabean2004 Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Many thanks Eglutine. We'd gotten used to lots of eggs and clearly and clearly its patience that we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
