My chickens aren't laying!

[logansmommy7]

why could this be? They have sort of been on a slump the last couple of days and today I got no eggs! I have seven regular layers! It has been hot, but not that hot..like 90s...what could be the problem? They all are happy and healthy that I can tell. Any ideas?

What are their ages and what are you feeding them?
The majority of mine (17 months old) are in a molt right now, so for the most part egg production has decreased.

All of mine are like 17 months and may be molting, don't know. They are generally good layers, giving me 5-7 eggs per day and today, NONE! Weird. I would guess I would probably get one before the day is over but it's just strange.

They are probably fixing to molt.

Well-I found my eggs. Just cleaned out the coop and the chickens had found a spot between the roosts to lay. There were 5...must have done them recently because they all passed the float/sink test-they sank with no problem. We rigged it up with pieces of wood so they won't lay there again hopefully.
