Is it normal to only get 2-4 eggs a day from seven chickens?

@Overo Mare, @OneHappyRooster, how many of these chickens are boys?

None.

It depends on how many of those chickens are roosters.

Ain’t that the truth!

 

[jcreagan78]

You're getting the same amount of eggs all year round?
How old are your birds?
...and.....
Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, and then it's always there!

They hatched back in May, so they have only been laying since early fall. We live in Northwest Colorado. So yeah, it’s cold. I have a heater on when its below freezing.

I thought the black one in front looked like a cockerel. My mistake.✌

Try supplementing light for a few hours a day in your coop to help keep them laying over the winter. Maybe some just aren't ready yet.

You have newbie girls going into winter. No boys.

I thought that one was too. But posted her on here and they all unanimously said no. Brown leghorn and very typical coloring and comb for the breed.

So have you been getting the same count of egg since they all started laying?
Not all chickens lay every day, some only lay 3-4 times a week.
Not all pullets will lay all winter, some will slow down or stop when the days get shorter.

Heat will do nothing to promote laying....
..and probably isn't needed unless it's below zeroF for days on end.
