How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

I haven't been getting ANY eggs lately, not even from my good old dependable rock hen. The weather has gotten colder here and we have had a few dark days in a row but not a single egg for about a week now. The hens also are looking very 'plucked'. I don't know if they are molting, kind of cold for that isn't it? I have been keeping them in more and have noticed that they are up on the roosts a lot instead of scratching around on the ground. What's up?
 
5/5

Hey, I've read about the required sunlight for winter egg production (which I won't be adding) but was also wondering about lesser protein intake having anything to do with it...since in the warmer months they gets buggies and such. prolly not so much in the winter.
 
I'm up to 4 eggs a day out of 11 hens!!! So exciting - yummy!
