No eggs?

[oodle]

My flock has been eggless for multiple months now. Like, for two whole seasons. Since halfway through summer my chickens have not been laying any eggs. I have two 2-year old chickens, and 2 2-month old chickens. I can understand the younger ones not being able to lay yet- but my older ones? They aren’t so old that they are done laying eggs… right? Also, I am aware that chickens will slow down/stop laying eggs when molting, but this eggless period has been going on for longer than the molting period. Is something wrong? Nesting boxes not good enough? Also, I am sure they are not laying in a secret place/hiding their eggs because I have checked. Anyone have any insight?

How old are they in months?

Now that’s weird. Those are all great layers, I have the classic Rhode Island’s, and they are still laying (they’re only 1 year old-ish).
What do you feed them?

I feed them multi-flock feather-focused crumble feed. I fed them an egg layer feed a few months ago, but then they started to molt so we switched. I think the next bag of food I get will be egg laying feed. But to answer your question, feather-growing feed at the moment. However I have fed them egg-layer in the past. They also go free range on weekends, so they are eating anything appetizing they find in the lawn.
