Laying less egg

[Rizu]

Hi
My hen use to give 11 eggs before brooting then it came to 10 eggs.... now only 7 and she is gone for brooting..what may b the reason?

Lots of reasons for diminished egg production... less daylight, aging (pullets lay WAY more eggs than they will once they mature but they usually get larger), intestinal worms, to many treats diminishing nutrition, lice or mites, or poor general nutrition, crowding or bullying, a late night predator visit.

11 eggs... per day, week, month? How many hens? What is the age? What do you feed including treats and supplements? What breed? How is your weather?

Hoping all is well.

So she is laying a clutch(of 11, then 10, and now 7) then brooding them?
What is the timeline that this is happening over,
does she brood several times a year or...?
How old is she?
Where are you located?
