Is it unusual for 18 hens to lay four eggs a day? Are they molting in late summer? Do i need to buy fake eggs to encourage them to lay?

How old are they ? If they are pullets, they may still be maturing. If they are a year or older they may be taking a normal break in their laying cycle and beginning a molt.
