We discovered that the hens have not really slowed egg laying production, but that they have just changed location. They seem to be happier laying in "wild nests" that they make elsewhere on the property. I am not sure why that is and have completely cleaned out the coop to see if any mice, snakes,,,,,,where hiding in there or if the place was just not welcoming to them. I think they are just outdoorsy kind of girls and like doing things their own way. So now I follow them around a bit and do an egg hunt occasionally if it seems that we are missing some of the eggs. Kind of like having easter egg hunts every day!
The chickens are a never ending source of entertainment.
