egg production drop off

[Matthew Newton]

Hi peeps!

We have had a drastic drop off in production of eggs. We have 10 hens, and used (3-4 weeks ago) to get 6-8 eggs daily, and were very happy with our hens. While we are still happy with them, we are only getting 0-3 a day. Anyone else experienced this as well?

4 hens are 3 years old (expect their reduction), and 6 are 6 months old. no signs of lethargy, or illness. Not molting, or broody. I'm stumped, but that's not hard to do!

Thanks for the help in advance.

Matt

The heat from last week was my guess for our drop in production. I'm hoping it goes back up once the weather stays under 100°. Good luck!
