My young flock had begun to lay then all of a sudden stopped, I'm in northern cali, our weather is going to cool can that be the issue or have I messed up by collecting my first eggs?

How long have they stopped for? It takes 1-2 days to recharge between eggs.

It's been four days now and no eggs but plenty of egg songs lol.

Could they be laying somewhere you haven't investigated?

What type of birds do you have?
If they are just starting to lay, it’s normal for it to not be as regular at first. Their reproductive systems are just starting to function and time in between eggs is normal unless you have hybrid sex linked production chickens. Taking the egg has nothing to do with it.

Of course I check all there hiding spots even in the house nothing. And no change in routine or feed idk?

Correct, I really wouldn’t worry. Besides, this is also a difficult time of year to get regular eggs anyways. They always slow down with the days getting shorter; so that in combination with just starting out is totally normal.
