They’re too young to be molting already, I think. They’re almost 7 months old. My boyfriend and I, the girl’s main caretakers, went on vacation for 4 days. My sister looked after them and said she didn’t collect a single egg while we were gone. Is it possible they were stressed that we left? They didn’t get as much backyard time as usual. When we’re home they get to free roam in the yard pretty much all day. And they get lots of attention and pets from us. They only got 2 backyard days out of the 4 we were gone. I’ve checked everywhere around the yard and there’s no signs that they’ve started laying somewhere else either. They’ve always been really good about laying in their nesting boxes anyway.
 
very possible they were stressed while you were gone. from what I have seen with mine, they love routine and are very leery of strangers
Okay, I figured that was the most likely cause! I guess we will see if they get back to their routine in the next few days 😊 thanks for the reply
