My girls were being fed D&H Layers Pellets (plus corn and veggies at tea time) and were laying me a respectable 8 - 10 eggs each day. None of the layers are in moult. Three weeks ago I (stupidly?) bought a cheaper brand of layers pellets, thinking they were all the same. I did a gradual change over, but they didn't really like them at first, and now their egg production has reduced to around 4 eggs per day.
I know its been hot and they've been occasionally a bit scratchy with each other, but I don't think its that .... And they haven't, to my knowledge, been stressed or frightened.
Has anyone else found that changing the poultry feed has impacted on egg production?
I've just gone out and bought them their preferred feed and am keeping my fingers crossed that things improve over the next couple of weeks.
