I have blue orp hens from 6 months to 1 1/2 yrs old. I have 18 hens and I may get 1-3 eggs a week right now. Is this common for this breed? Last summer I was getting alot of eggs everyday!
 
No i dont think that is common, I think they are supposed to be good layers(each hen 4-5 eggs a week)... but there may be other factors

They are going to molt I bet or go broody one. Mine did that to me. If not check for mites on their bussels

They do have fluffy butts that things like to hide in or for worms. Their are so many things that could cause the slow down. Gloria Jean
