Keeping chickens
Our chickens are not laying as many eggs at present. Maybe 1 to 3 per day. We have 22 chickens and 1 rooster. The eggs that are layed have either been pecked or sat on.
What is going on? Anyone with any advice would be welcome. It is very hard trying to find the one(s) who are breaking the eggs. I know that it is bad for chickens to get a taste for eggs.

Re: Keeping chickens
blowing and hollowing out an egg and re filling it with curry sauce will cure this
