hi,
I have about 17 hens (3 which are silkies, so I don't expect so many eggs out of them), they are all pretty healthy (they do have lice which I'm trying to overcome) and a few are a couple of years old, but I only get about 6 eggs a day on average, 10 if I'm lucky, would they have poor laying because of the lice and old age or could they be lacking something in their diet?
thanks
