16 Buff orphingtons just laid their first eggs. 3 one day, two days later another egg, three days later another. As soon as they started laying I switched them to organic, non gmo Dumor layer feed. 16%
It’s been a few days and no more eggs. What if anything should I be doing to get them to lay regularly:) the first eggs have been a good size with hard shells and very tasty

How old are they? Poopy eggs are not common for me. When I've gotten them the lady either had diarrhea or the nest box was dirty. How many nest boxes do you have and where? Do they free range? Maybe they're molting?
 
They’re around 26 weeks they tend to roost in the nest boxes (2 imparticular) 4 nest boxes, they are in a moveable coop and movable electric fence. We move them every 5 days.
