Birds not Laying as they Should?
Most of the time this is due to the feed you give them. Chickens in production use up every bit of the feed you give them, If for any reason they get stressed, They stop laying and They need a boost in protein to get them back on track. Your feed is only good in Ideal conditions. We sell what we give our birds. It is a complete mix. All natural and the protein is from feed grade fish Meal for the Omega 3's for great eggs.

The Keeping of Chickens - 101
There is really just one essential to keeping adult chickens warm in winter: provide a solid shelter. Chickens are not able to stay outside at night in freezing weather so they must have a suitable building that stays dry and free of drafts. A good layer of straw or shavings on the ground will make a nice insulated layer to walk on. Any open or chicken-wire windows need to be covered with Plexiglas or heavy clear plastic, to stop the draft but not the light.
The chickens should also have a place to roost off the ground. The roost should only be made of wood, not metal or plastic, so their feet can stay warm while roosting. And they should be provided with unfrozen water at all times, preferably with a heater in the water or under the waterier to keep the temperature just above freezing. A good commercial layer feed should provide them with the energy they need to maintain their body temperatures.
In the coldest of weather they will huddle together, fluff out their feathers, tuck their heads under their wings, and this is sufficient, even when it is below freezing in the coop. The only one who may suffer is the rooster if he has a large comb. A comb is subject to frostbite. He may lose his comb and this can be painful but does not usually cause a future problem; it is just unsightly as there will be a partial comb remaining, outlined in black. The best way to avoid this is to only keep roosters from breeds that have combs flat to the head.
Do not put your chickens in a heated room. This can actually be very dangerous for them as there is a bigger contrast in inside and outside temperatures. Also, bacteria that normally would be kept down by the cold can flourish in the moist heat possibly leading to lung problems. If there is to be a really unusual cold snap, a heat lamp can be put in the coop to keep the ambient temperature closer to freezing, but do not warm up the coop.
Most hens naturally decrease or stop egg production all together in the winter, but a few breeds have been bred for winter laying. If the weather is cold you will need to pick eggs more frequently, maybe two or three times a day. In a real cold snap, the eggs may still freeze and break if you don't retrieve them immediately after being laid.
A major exception to all of this is if you are brooding chicks. They must be kept protected from all drafts with a solid barrier surrounding them, and protected from the cold, usually by way of a heat lamp directly over them. They will tell you if they are too warm or too cold by their behavior: too warm and they stay away from the lamp, too cold and they huddle together under it, just right and they are randomly placed around the brooder. If you don't have air-tight facilities to maintain heat for baby chicks then it is just better to avoid raising them during the winter.

Tired of Sick, Weak, Skinny, birds and need feed that actually gives your birds even more than they " need "
For the Last Couple of years we have seen the Quality of feeds fall as the price of grains has gone thru the roof. When feed quality gets worse, weak, sick, slow growing, lack of laying, Chick and hen problems, Escalate. We have found that most of the problems we have been seeing is caused by the lack of Quality starter and laying feeds. We started mixing our own about two years ago and cannot believe the change in the health of our Chicks - birds. After much research, discussion and consulting with the old guy's, We are now making, Mixing and soon will be selling our own mix's for Laying and Chick complete feeds. All our birds now lay as they should, are healthy and good weight. Our chicks grow as they should with no nutritional problems that we have been seeing more and more of lately. Destiny Farms new Charity feeds are made from Organic - European Brewers Grains, Yogurt, chocolate flacks, Granola, Alfalfa meal and a lot less corn and soy. Naturally high in protein.
