I have 4 hens, don't ask me what breed because I don't know. I also have 1 RIR rooster. I have 1 hen that I have had since she was a chick. She is about a year old now and she was a consistent layer for several months when she was old enough. About 2 months ago she was attacked by my dog, but didn't appear to be injured. I know this was stress for sure, but it has been like 2 months and she still isn't laying but maybe once or twice a week, as far as I can tell. I also have 3 hens that I bought after I lost 2 other hens to the same dog attack and I bought them a few days after I lost the other 2. I know they have to get used to their new environment, which is smaller than where they came from, but there were a ton of chickens in the same coop. I was told they were about 6 months old. So, I have had these 3 hens for about 2 months. At first i got a couple of eggs from them a day, but since have decreased. I am only getting 1-2 eggs from these 3 hens a week. I have looked at most of the postings and ideas. We feed them a high quality feed, they have a very nice coop and I let them out to roam my back yard pretty much every day for several hours, and they don't appear to have any parasites. I was told they were good layers, so I don't know what's wrong

I live in Texas so the weather is very inconsistent. It is spring now
. So, I don't know if the weather has something to do with it and I don't know if there is anything I can do. I have attached pics if that helps. Please help if you have any suggestions
