No Eggs in 7 days?

[newchck]

One on my chickens has not laid in egg in about 6-7 days. She is 8 months and has been laying 4-5 eggs a week since September. It is cold here and we are not supplementing with heat or light. All poo looks normal and to my knowledge she is eating and drinking. Think it is just the weather changes / winter months? Thanks!

No it's the shorter days. Temps really don't come into play. Is she molting. That's a hard job and requires a lot of energy. Eggs vs new feathers.

no molting, I was thinking it was the shorter days, but this is my first winter having the girls and just wanted to make sure that that was the reason!
