hens stopped laying!!

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

i have 11 hens and 2 ducks and i was getting about about 10 eggs a day but then a month ago all the birds stopped laying and from then on i've only been getting 1-4 eggs a day.

At first i thought it was a squirrel taking the eggs but after a month i am pretty sure this cannot be it,

Any ideas on what the problem is would be much appreciated,

Thanks, Ben

Do your birds appear healthy? Have you checked for mites in the house? Are they moulting? Broody?

Seen any magpies around? They will take eggs. As will rats.

Could be any number of reasons.
