Over the past week I've noticed a serious drop in egg production. I went from 15-20 eggs a day to 2-3 eggs.
I found a half eaten egg in the coop the other day, so yesterday I decided to to an experiment. I left all of the eggs in the coop and didn't collect--I counted 18 eggs yesterday afternoon.
This morning I opened the coop doors and guess how many eggs were in the nest boxes?
ZERO.
Stupid birds ate every single egg, there isn't a sign of egg left. It looks like they just never laid any.
What do I do?? I have no idea who is eating the eggs, but I suspect by now they have all caught on because one chicken couldn't eat 18 eggs by herself...
I'm so angry at them! They have plenty of food, lots of healthy scraps, etc. It's not like they are starving or deficient...
