    15 hens… 2 eggs?

    I have 15 hens and only get two eggs a day. There is no where for them to have a secret nest. What should I do to increase egg production. We usually get more eggs in the winter compared to now which is concerning. Also most of the hens are only 2 years old. There are some younger.
