Chickens won't lay eggs

[Katewhen]

Hey guys. My husband and I have a joint world where we are approaching 200 hours. We're both still pretty new to the game so I have taken the liberty to work on animal husbandry, and I am so stuck on these chickens. Recently (about 2 months in game ago) I moved our chicken coop a greater distance away from our main base because I was struggling to get them to incubate eggs without starling them constantly. Currently we have 4, gen 4 hens and 1, gen 4 rooster. After moving them to their new spot I have had zero egg production. Portions are being eaten from the troughs but none of my hens have a status update that say, "X portions eaten", etc., like they used to. I have 12 nests and 2 troughs that I keep as full as possible w/ grain. I even AFKd near their coop for an entire in game day to see if anything would change since I started to worry about chunk loading issues or something but again, portions would be eaten but nothing would change. What am I missing? Below are some screenshots of the coop. I once thought that the chiseled ramp might have been the issue, but I only have feed in the building, and the chickens seem to use it just fine. You can also see a screenshot of our map. The red x icon is where our main base is, the green tree icon is where the old coop is, and the blue spiral icon is the current coop. I appreciate any feedback.

I had a problem similar to this a while ago, but my hens weren't eating at all.

Your issue sounds different, as your hens are eating, but you could try killing, recreating your birds and resetting their generation using creative mode like I did and see if that works?

Good luck!

Thanks for the tip! I will give that a try and report back... Currently on an expedition so I'll luk. Thanks again

another thing you can try is throwing the flax directly on the ground, since they can graze from thrown items. it might help kickstart them into being hungry again!
