    Where do you live? Daylight is a big factor. Are they molting?

    How many birds do you have? How old? How many hours of daylight are you getting? Do they appear otherwise healthy?

    What are the diminsions of your coop? There are less hours of daylight in the winter, hens need 12-14 hours of sunlight every day to lay.
