Laying can be impacted by many things. Stress, changes, heat, lessening of daylight hours, internal and external pests, poor nutrition, age, molt, overcrowding, etc. can all impact rate of lay. Be sure you are giving them layer feed. The layer feed should make up 90% of their diet, so be sure you are not giving them too much "people food" or table scraps. Also make sure your layers have layer feed and fresh water available 24/7. That way they can eat and drink as needed and you don't have to worry about anyone not getting enough.
