No eggs after a hurricane

[TXWIFE92]

Before hurricane Ike hit the houston/galveston area. We were getting 8 or 9 eggs a day. We have 18 chickens and 2 roosters. We are only getting 2 eggs per day after the hurricane. I'm feeding them laying pellets with no luck. Any ideas about what the hurricane may have done to them to cause this problem?

Anything that disrupts life and stresses the birds out can cause a decline in egg production. Dont worry, it wont last forever.

Yep! What the one above me said. I had a skunk spray the coop once and they stopped laying RIGHT NOW and didnt lay an egg for over a month but they did come back again.
