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

Same year round?

Even in spring?

Amount of eggs, is usually dependent on breed, season, and age. Were going into winter with shorter daylight hours and colder temperatures which will reflect on there hormones. But in spring they should ramp up there egg production. Hope that helps.

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!

It depends on how many of those chickens are roosters.
