Egg production way down

[MOChickenz]

My flock was ill with mycoplasma and were treated with 10 days of duramycin. While they were sick, egg production went way down. I was pretty sure that would happen. Now we are 18 days out from the first day they got sick and I am still only getting 5-6 eggs a day, as opposed to the 20-24 I was getting before. When will they bounce back?

Thanks!

Mine is way down too, with no illnesses. Some of my girls are molting and some have started their winter break.

No molting here. I wish they would my leghorns look so dirty!

do you have light on your birds? they need between 12-14 hours a day to lay well. some breeds will lay in the winter but you will not get a large amount of eggs if they do.

They get about 12 hours of light a day.
