How many years do hens lay eggs?
I bought a house and it came with 8 hens. I only get around 2 eggs a day. 2 of the hens are really really young so they probably aren't laying anyway, but 2 eggs doesnt seem right for 6 adult hens (at least i think they are adults, I have no idea im new to this). Any way to figure it out without scooping the hens up and palming their butts? They were skittish at first but are slowly getting used to my presence.
I mention 'years' because the previous owners lived here for only 5 years, not sure when they started building a coop or raising hens, so the oldest might only be 3-4 years old.
