what are the known reasons for slugs?

this is my first year with any real amount of slugs. out of 2 clutches i have 4 good eggs and 8 slugs. one female proven the other a first timer. multiple males with one. specific male with other.

just want to know what i can do to reduce my chances for slugs next year.
