Hi guys! I have 10 hens(Welsummers and americaunas) who were laying great up until about a week ago. They are about 18 months old. I would normally get between 7-9 eggs daily. For the last two days I have gotten zero and only a few a day for the last week. We are going through some really hot weather here, could this be the problem? Also, they were free range all day up until a few weeks ago. They were destroying my garden and my wife's landscaping efforts, so now they are in the coop all day. They have a good size run to play in but could they be out of sorts because of the lifestyle change of being locked up all day? Just wondering what I did wrong. Thanx inadvance,

-Tony
 
Could be a combination of things...being locked up, the heat, and it's molting season, so could be any or all of those things. ;)
