AndyRoo Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hello, Some of my chooks have gone quite off lay or are laying quite sporadically over the last few weeks. Will the heat be affecting them in that way? Or could it be something else? I've noticed they seem to have quite enjoyed playing in the sprinkler when it's been on, so I'm wondering if it's just too unbearably warm for them.

Cat tails Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Some chickens do take a break during warm weather. Mine take a break if the wind is blowing the wrong way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Yes, I have 9 chickens and have had about 10 eggs last week and none last two days. 😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRoo Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 Ah, thanks. I thought it was the heat that was probably the case, but I wasn't too sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursula123 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Late 30's here and getting 7 eggs a day from my 8 girls, they must like the heat. We had a massive thunder storm Saturday evening and the following day all 8 laid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I don't think I'd want to lay in this heat either if I was a chicken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
