I'm wondering if maybe she's starting to molt? I haven't noticed any feathers floating around... Is there something else that could be triggering this? I don't know which of the three has stopped but it is obvious someone has. I keep a tracker and normally I get 2-3 eggs a day but for the last four days I've had two 1 egg days and two 2 egg days. They are acting completely normal otherwise. Oh, and they are EEs. I might be overreacting to this but we haven't had this many 1 egg days so close since Shania finally started laying.

I haven't changed their food, their coop setup or anything else. They have oyster shell on the side and I haven't found any pieces so they're not eating them...

Well, lets hope it's a short strike for whoever it is. I'll check them over again but they were parasite free last week so it's either a random strike or a molt beginning...
