bantams quit laying?

[artist chick]

I have two bantam hens and one roo, and they happily live together in a chicken tractor. Both hens have been laying just fine until a couple of weeks ago, and now they've both quit. As far as I can tell nothing has changed to cause this. Does anyone have any ideas? Could they quit laying because of the heat? They don't seem to be in any distress; nobody's pecking on any of the other two, etc. They seem just fine but they aren't laying at all.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Yes, It is probably the heat. It could be protein deficiency, thats what I had a problem with.

Hm. Well, they are getting layer feed, so I hope it's not protein deficiency. I guess I'll assume the heat, then! Thank you!
