The elusive egg

Hello, all -- I emailed Wynn today to ask her for her take on why we haven't gotten any eggs -- and what we can do to get our lovely girls to start laying. Here's what she had to say:

Hi - it normally takes several days for hens to settle in after a move. You can try putting a little (2-4 tablespoons depending on the size of your water) apple cider vinegar in their water. Give them a head of lettuce everyday too for a few days. They'll get used to all the attention - just an adjustment, so the egg laying may be delayed for a bit. Chickens live in petting zoos....so your's will adapt eventually. Now if dogs are stopping by the coop during the day and running at the wire - or even just sniffing around, they won't get used to that. My hens recognize my dogs and barely notice them - but when a strange dog comes into the yard - boy they know right away. Please keep me posted. W

We gave them some fresh pumpkin today, and they went gaga for it. Will give them some lettuce, too.
