My egg count went from 4 a day to 1 after I swapped feeders, and I finally get why
Three weeks ago I moved my 6 hens off the open trough and onto a hanging tube feeder after a rat started raiding the coop at night. The spill dropped to almost nothing and the girls calmed way down at feeding time, but now they eat slower and lay less. Did I trade eggs for a cleaner coop, or are they still just getting used to it?
