No Eggs?

[2 Magnolias Egg]

I am getting vertically no eggs from my girls. I have 8 confirmed egg layers and 7 more that should start any day now. Im getting maybe 2 a day. I know that some of them are molting but is this normal? Production to slow this much?

Of the 7 who haven't started yet, 4 were born in Aril, 3 on July 25th.

Short winter days. No eggs until they start to get long again.

Some breeds will lay through the winte but even those will slow down. What breeds do you have?

They slow down considerably in the winter. Same things happening to me.

The mature ones are 3 Buff 2 Barred Rock 1 Jersey Giant, 1 Mutt, 1 Americana. The 3 should be ready any day now, 2 Speckled Sussex, 1 Blue Americana, the one that will be ready soon is the Issa Brown, and I have 3 Lavender Orpingtons that are a little younger.

How about horizontally? Sorry couldn't help but riff on the auto-correct typo.

How old are these birds in months?
Molting birds don't lay eggs....and they usually stop laying before the feathers start to fall.

I only have experience with a few of those. My americaunas never laid through winter and my Sussex slowed way down. I don't remember my orpingtons but my current Australorp has slowed down already as well and she just started laying a couple months ago. Some breeds are better winter layers like Faverolles and Barnevelders but they're heritage breeds not production breeds so they don't lay a ton
