Not Laying...

[Gvnam]

I have 9 hens and usually get 8 eggs a day (one never laid an egg before. she is going on 7 months)

I lately have been getting 6 eggs a day. 4 from my BSL's and 2 from my 4 PR's. My rooster has the PR's torn up pretty good, could this be what is causing the red's not to lay?

Any suggestions?

I have 2 chicks out in the roosters coop and needed to move him in with the hens. I have someone ordering 12 chicks from me and I need 18 Production Red eggs from my girls to start incubating her order and I need them all by next sunday.

I don't know where you live, but this is the time of year when it starts getting hot, and sometimes the girls get sluggish about laying. You can help them, out by making sure they have plenty of shade, multiple sources for fresh water, and by giving them a little extra protein (calf manna can help with this). Not knowing your situation, that is my first thought. Hope it helps.
