I have three gold laced wyandotte layers who are all about 2 years old now. They usually produce 1-2 eggs a day, but have suddenly stopped all production. About a week ago was the last time we received any eggs. Those last eggs were all of normal size and makeup. None of them are eggbound, molting, or broody, and all have been eating/drinking/behaving like perfectly healthy chickens. (One is a little underweight with some sparse feathers, but they are rescues and she has always been that way. Her production is rather slow already as well.) It has been extremely hot and dry recently, and the chickens have been less active during hot hours because of that, so is it just the heat that's stopped their laying? Am I being paranoid when there's nothing to worry about? I only worry because they've never had this happen before, even in winter. Any input would be awesome! Thanks guys
