My chucks arent doing too well, ive 3 lightsussex and 3 marans, but, even though i did get a full house (6 eggs) one morning i am averaging 3 still, sometimes 2 even. I was feeding them a bit of bread and scraps but now only laying pellets and corn but its still not great. Cant find any evidence of rats either.
Plus one of my light sussex has gone broody! Every time i go in she is sat on an egg.
suggestions for upping my egg rate ??
