egglaying

[lamanash]

I have 12 young hens (2-3 years old). For some reason they start laying 2-4 eggs daily (sometimes 1 or 0) for last 4 month . They are good breeds that should produce more eggs per day - 6 month ago, i got 10,11 and ones 12 eggs. How I could fix this issue

What breeds are they?
How's your weather like?
Could they be molting?

We're approaching the winter. They're mature girls. It's normal for them to stop

Well, since its getting into winter they're probably slowing down a bit, which is normal.

Russian Orpigon

Not familiar with this Orpington colour. Do you happen to have pictures?

They probably meant Russian Orloff.

They slow down to produce eggs since July and during the hot temperature they have cooling mist. So its not a winrter weather issue

July is pretty early, but some birds do molt
