Laying slowdown

[Back40]

Could someone advise why my Ladies may have slowed egg production? Possible factors: 1. cooler weather? 2. Not-so-great care by a neighbor while I was out of town for a week? (Not enough water or feed) 3. Not receiving typical attention while I was away? Thanks for any suggestions...

Reason is probably related to the cooler weather and lack of sunlight.

all of the above you mentioned..not enough feed..less eggs..not enough water..dead birds...not 14 hours of daylight..less eggs!

If they are older hens (over 18 months) that might also factor in to all of the things you mentioned.
