New here....Hello to all!

Hi! Im new to BYC and excited to be here. I have a question. I have 7 hens; 1 (not sure of breed) has been laying since March. 2 RIR that were laying when I bought them, and 3 leghorns that have all been laying around 2-4weeks. On average I get around 3-4 eggs a day. Is this right?

Are they on layer feed? Has your weather been unusually hot? Is there a chance they are laying outside the coop when ranging? Maybe predators are taking some of the eggs or one may have a hidden nest.

Thank you!

They are all on layer crumbles, Nutrena. It's hot and hunid here in Alabama. I moved their coop (on wheels) to a shadier spot so they don't get direct sun until the afternoon.
