NO EGGS!!! ANY IDEAS?

[CRYROLFE]

I have 5 chickens....2 are 2 yrs old and the other 3 are 1 yr old.
Once it started warming up....I was getting about 4 eggs a day....for the last month or maybe 6 weeks.....NO EGGS.

We did not change food or add or take away anything unusual.
They have oyster shell available.
They get veggie scraps and scratch.

Their poop looks fine and no one is molting.

I am at my wits end! I have no clue what else to do. I could take one or two to the vet but they all seem very healthy and their weight is good.

Ideas?

How hot is it?? Egg production will decrease when it gets very hot. Also, check the coop carefully for snakes - they love a nice fresh egg!!

Hey sweetie, not to worry. I wouldn't waste the money on the vet. Research at the top of the page of why my hens are not laying. I'm sure others have had this problem. Good luck.

Yes....they don't seem to have any of those problems.
It is pretty hot here so hopefully that is why. They have a misting in their yard on all day and lots of shaded areas where they can hang out.

I was just on another thread and they said to give red pepper flakes and it'll start them up. Just passing on what I hear.

It might start something other than eggs..................

Still nothing! I've changed their food now (in case maybe that was why....or maybe it's stale?....New bags though so....)
They still seem fine too....no visible issues.
Sooooo frustrating!
