Laying for 2 weeks then stopped?

[RNPAULIE69]

My 3 girls will be 2 years old in April. Last winter they layed pretty much the entire season. I do not supplement with light to keep them laying although 3 days a week I put lights in pen on at 6am so they aren't sitting in the dark. When I start my car for work the headlights shine enough that they come out of their coop then stand there crabbing in the dark lol. They started laying a few weeks ago then this past week no eggs. Is this sporadic laying normal for this time of year? All is well, eating drinking looking great. They went through their 18 month molt with no issues.

Production generally picks up between March and May. Than it will slow during the heat of summer, than generally picks back up in fall. This time of year laying is more sporadic.

I didnt expect eggs until the end of winter so it was a nice short lived surprise lol
