quickcluck Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I have 13 lovely ladies I usually get 10/11 eggs a day..... Now on saturday I only had 3 We've average 5-7 for the last week or so... Why the change? They've recently been wormed. I've cut down on treats, they have layers pellets available all day, and have layers mash in the evening made into a mush with water. They seem happy and healthy, Maisie is still in her broody cage, it's been over a week now, and she still makes a bee line for the nest box if I try her back in the run.... Any ideas???? Help!

Egluntyne Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Are they laying under bushes in the garden? Could you have a 2 legged predator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 The hot weather can slow down or even stop egg production and laying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
