The hens have been a little "off" I am suspecting due to longer days, sudden weather changes and possibly just ticked off because I have been keeping them penned up too much due to predators.
I have been getting one egg a day for the past week. Very disappointing!
I was at the grocery yesterday and found eggs on sale 4 dozen for $5, and the hens not being on top of things I bought 4 dozen. I eat a lot of eggs.
Last night when I penned up the hens I found 5 eggs in the nest box.
I only have 4 hens!
Either someone is working overtime or the rooster is now laying!
They must have heard the under the breath warnings about chicken and dumplings I was mumbleing.
