Rain, rain, and more rain in New England

Is the rain to blame for the drop in egg production? My hens are only laying half of what they were in May when there was a normal amount of rain and sunshine. Anyone else having this happen?

Mine seem to be laying okay, no drop that is. BUT AH THE DANG RAIN!!!

It's getting really tiresome. I know I have some white chickens somewhere out there..........

I dont know if the rain makes a difference. I live in the seattle area but closer to the coast and it is raining cats and dogs here right now and my egg production is still staying steady. That is after a week of 80 degree heat.

As, for your white chickens....look for the walking mud balls! thats what my cornish look like right now. And another reason i dont own any pure white chickens!

Don't even get me started on the rain. Just the lack of sun is doing me and my garden in. My girls aren't old enough to lay yet, but my neighbors chickens have all but stopped laying. Could the dark weather be causing them to start a molt?
