Does 4 eggs per day from 8 hens sound right?

My girls give me 4 eggs a day from 5 layers. Every other week I might get 2 for a couple of days. But all in all, not so bad.
I haven't added a light yet. Do I do it now or wait a couple more weeks? I haven't seen a slow down in production, if anything they have gotten more regular.
BTW:
When does a pullet turn into a hen?

Update!!! The girls have been stepping up egg production and reached a new record of 7 eggs from 8 hens yesterday! Six today. We are psyched!

When does a pullet turn into a hen?

When showing birds a female is a pullet until she is a year old. I think in general that is the rule also

Are you extending the day with an electric light? If you keep layer feed and water steady and provide an extra 2-3 hours of daylight I would expect you could be at a stead 80%- 90%. With only 8 hens it may not be worth the effort.

I have 14 pullets(minus one broody) and I have been getting 10-13 eggs out of a possible 13 eggs

After hearing other results I have been very pleased with my Buff Orpington and Black Orpington egg production. Even my mutt hen and NHR has been doing well.

Now we are at 8 for 8 for the last two days! I think they've finally gotten it together.

My four little bantams just started laying last month, and they've been giving me 4 eggs a day nearly every day since they started. Woot!

Of course the eggs are small, but they are rich and tasty.

My seven hens, hatched April 1 have been giving me 5-6 eggs per day for several weeks. They started laying the middle of July. The egg size was small at first, 35 - 40 grams. Now they average 50 grams and still 5-6 per day. Today I got a record breakers, however, one egg was 82.1 grams. It looked fake.....it is HUGE! Can't weight to break it open.

My hens started laying on Sept. 1. I have 12, but have never gotten a dozen eggs. Usually it 7-10 eggs a day. I think they don't all lay every day at this age. Hoping I'm right.
