Hi! New to Backyard Chickens but excited to be here! I have nine backyard chickens that range from 18-20 months, all have started laying but slowed during the winter/molting stage. They started back up and we were getting eggs consistently for the past two weeks, a few days ago it all stopped. Nothing...no eggs at all. We had one chicken that has laid 5-6 days a week since she started, never taking a break. So this is so puzzling!
I should mention, these chickens have plenty of space to free range, a very clean coop, lots of food, water and some treats. We live in Southern California so temperature has never been an issue. They are all acting themselves and are very lively! But still no eggs....
Any insight or tips would be amazing!
 
:welcome Any changes in feed or husbandry ? Possible predator in area or predator attack ? Water supply is guaranteed ?
 
At 20 months old they just may be taking a break in the laying cycle though that generally happens during the molt.
