clucker1 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Has anyone else's egg production dropped in the last few days, which I am pretty sure is down to the disgusting weather! My girls were laying 6 a day, then 5 and today a measly 4, which includes a small egg from one of my newbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 yes, mine have gone down but its mostly due to disruptive broodies, although I don't think the damp helps PS - you need to give Custard her own byline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckingmad Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Yup... out of 7 laying girls we have had a measly 1 egg this morning Even our pekin ladies are laying better than that! Think the weather must be confusing them, poor girls don't know if its spring/autumn/winter... definately not summer tho'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Yep, due to broodies/weather, I've gone from 14ish eggs a day to around 6/7. My friend may not be able to have her usual dozen this weekend and yesterday I could only give my sister 10 when she usually has 12-18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Same here I struggled to give my friend her usual dozen eggs yesterday, I managed it but that was the last three days of laying leaving no eggs for me, hopefully they will lay today Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windway Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Same here - they are not broody but are moulting a bit. No eggs for past couple of weeks apart from one tiny little egg every other day from one of my newbies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckingmad Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Sigh... my girls have picked up a bit, but we've just reated them with ivermectin spot on for crawlies so on a 7 day egg withdrawal period... typical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
