johnandkymberley Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hi, we have 7 hens, but are only getting 6 eggs a day, now i know hens have "off" days but this has been happening for while, prob 2weeks maybe a bit more, we always have 2 so its not willow or lily, and i have seen petal and laelia so i have 3 to observe! Is there anyway i can help them along? i have put garlic in their water with a tad of poultry tonic and ACV, just for a pick me up, i mean a couple of months ago they werent laying anything at all for a week then one day i got all 7, is this normal? im a bit worried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy049 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 They might be laying away from the nest. One of our girls just stopped for a couple of weeks, and nows she starting again. Make sure they are all ok, check to make sure they're not egg bound of something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnandkymberley Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 Just to update i searched around the garden in bushes and stuff and still nothing , i have narrowed it down to blossom or phlox though, but when i get up there is one egg already in there, so whoever is laying is laying it early! but i dont know if i can get up at 5 to see which one is going in....
