I have 3 White Leghorns that I acquire from the local FFA last May. They were already laying by the time I got them because they were hatched at last October.

They were consistent layers (3 eggs per week) up until the beginning of August. Since then, they have completely stopped laying eggs.

Their coop is completely predator proof and they have a constant supply of clean water and layer feed. Also worth noting that the space between their "birthing hips" is down from 2 fingers to about 1 1/4 fingers. Please help me

Kudos on checking that!

They may be getting ready to molt...and some don't molt hard so you won't see a bunch of feathers all over the place.

Any changes like new birds or change to coop/run, or may have been a predation attempt that you are unaware of.

Sorry, just some thoughts, eggs are a seasonal food and this time if year laying slows or stops.
