gavclojak Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 another question about the heat? has anybody notices a drop in egg production in this heat, my 5 girls usually lay between 3-5 a day and 2 days ago had 2 soft shelled eggs and since then only 2 eggs! also!!!! they are not pooing that much of a night, when i check the trays in the morning they don't seem to have done that much over the last 2 nights, they all seem fine in themselves eating/ drinking etc and a few big massive morning poo's so should i worry or not? Thanks again guys in advance for your constant source of information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Yes, it's normal to have a drop in egg production in heat from my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 We have had definite drop in egg production. I am getting about 5 eggs a day from my big girls as opposed to 15. That and broody hens hogging the nest box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
