Beyond the previous considerations.

What breed(s)? Traditional breeds only lay 4-5 eggs per week, at their best. Also, do you provide any additional lighting in the early morning to extend their days? In northern Michigan, we're down to less than 11 hours of sunlight. Chickens need 14 hours to produce at their maximum. Adding light and how much is a matter of preference.

as for lighting i am not providing any other light then that form the windows in the coop. will not the extra lighting cause them to burn out faster?
as for breeds i have australorps(3) marans(3) ,brahmas(4), faverolles(4) ,chantlers(3), andulusain (1) ,leghorns (2) ,welsummers(1)
wyandottes(3), red sessex(3), partidge rock(1), isa browns (2) ,easter eggers(5), the rest of the girls are mixed breed from andy the andulusian and sam the golden laced wyandotte

Nice. Frankly, given the mix of your hens, that is likely a very good day.

What does everyone do with so many eggs a day? Sell them?
