Egg issues

[NanaMidge]

My chicken are about 2 years old I have 4 of them we maybe get 2 a day. Does anybody know why. Last year we were getting 4 daily.

4 chickens only getting maybe 2 eggs daily. Why? Chickens are about 2-3 years old

What breeds do you have?
Each breed lays differently.
I have Easter Eggers and each one will lay every other day or every third day but they are not high egg producers like some breeds.

My GLW only lays about once every other day.

Poor nutrition is the number one cause of poor laying. Poor health is another. If a hen has worms, for example, that will curtail laying.

If you are not feeding a well balanced commercial feed, your hens may not be getting enough nutrients to produce eggs at the rate they were a year ago. If you do feed a commercial feed but spoil them with too many treats, they may neglect their feed and could be suffering from malnutrition.

These are only guesses given that you have supplied so little information about your hens to give you more tailored advice.

What breed are they? I agree with the above post. But if you are feeding them enough then breed and age also plays a role in that.

Knowing the breed might help.
Most chickens lay the most in their first year of laying.
After their first adult molt(in their second fall/winter) they may lay fewer but larger eggs.

Diet can have an affect.
What all and how exactly are you feeding?

Do you free range?
