Hi, Amy! Welcome! Glad you are here with us!

Hello, Amy, and welcome to BYC. The shortened daylight period has caused a break in their laying cycle. As day light period increases, they will start laying again.

Hi. I'm so sorry for your loss. I can relate. Glad you can keep chickens. I love the Nn's. I used to hatch them. Such cute babies.
Your hens will probably start laying again, as has been mentioned, when it starts getting light sooner. They're taking a little break.
Welcome!

Hiya, Amy, and welcome to BYC!

So sorry for your loss.

I'm in the same boat...getting some eggs, but about 1/2 of normal. Very soon they'll be laying up a storm again!

Hi! I hope you get your usual number of eggs in no time! Some people use artificial light to keep their production up, but I like giving mine a natural break during the winter time. Pullets (<1 year old) birds will sometimes lay through the winter.

I hope you and your flock are all doing well, besides the lack of eggs! Once the days have about 14 hours of light or more to stimulate their pineal gland, they should start laying again.

Thanks for joining and welcome to BackYard chickens!

Hello, and welcome to BYC!
You're likely not getting eggs because its winter, and chickens slow down or completely stop during it. So it is completely normal!
