Need Some Advise

[Bridgette1221]

So I have been getting about 8-10 eggs a day for sometimes now. Then all of a sudden I only had 5 one day, like 3-4 the next and only 1 today! I'm wondering if someone isn't stealing them or if I have a critter taking them. Is this usual that they would all just basically stop laying, at the same time at about 6 months old?

It is probably the amount of daylight the hens are getting. It takes 14 hours of daylight each day, for hens to lay reliably.

really? I did not know that. I think they are getting about 12 hours at least of daylight.

They need 14. Put a light in the coop and a lock on the door.
