When the chickens throw you a curveball & your egg basket goes from full to empty overnight…

Its always good to under why! Here are some of my thoughts ⬇️

1 - change of season. Often the ladies will stop or slow egg laying when it gets too cold and/or the amount of daylight they are getting changes.

2. Worms or other pests & diseases. Flock health is important to maintain healthy hens and a good laying rate.

3. Predators. If your hens feel unsafe, they may start hiding eggs or completely stop laying until they feel safe and secure again.

We took a big hit to our farming operation yesterday.

Our buggy, which we rely so heavily upon to cart water, collect eggs and so much more, went up in flames. It had been recently serviced and was running really well, until it wasn’t, & lost power then exploded into flames.

Luckily Sparkles & I both escaped unscathed, but the buggy, all its contents and my phone were incinerated (so don’t try to ring me coz I won’t answer lol). All we could do was try to contain the grass fire with the tractor (legendary husband!) until the firies arrived and put it out.

A huge thanks to the awesome first responders (fire fighters and ambos) who came so quickly to help and make sure we were ok.
