Chickens stopped laying????

Chickens stopped laying????

We were averaging 4 eggs a day, with my 5 big hens who are 1yo, (and we have 8 hens under 6months old). Production has reduced considerably and we get maybe 1-2???

Picture- Bertha our best layer, eating seeds from me, has laid daily since November and has stopped???

  • our chickens free range our backyard. *Im on the lookout for a hidden nest. *Everyone is active and foraging. *We have 3 nest boxes in the coop, and one of those smaller manufactured coops outside the coop they could lay in if they wanted to as well.

*Our puppy has stolen eggs off the nest to eat, so hes been under a watchful eye.

No one appears to be molty, broody, or lethargic. They have access to layer feed, i give them sunflower seeds and black fly larvae for treats. Probiotics in water. Our temps have been a lot warmer (pacific northwest) lately.
