4 weeks and still no eggs?

[Mac14]

Sometimes it just happens. I have 8 and 3 of them are molting, but then I only get about 1-3 eggs a day. Right now it is snowing, so you can guess it is a bit cold.

I thought they quit laying this time of year due to a lack of daylight hours?

They do. As the days get shorter, their laying slacks off unless this is their first year and they started laying in the fall. Their bodies are taking a rest from it all, which they need unless you want to squeeze out every egg as fast as possible in which case use artificial lighting. Have the lights come on at least 2 hours before sunup. Shortens their life spans but you get eggs.
