Stopped Laying

[knc512]

I have 4 chickens (See Sig) and they have laid for me all summer long. as of late, they have not laid in the past 6 days. No changes to the coop or anything, i was thinking the weather change, we are here in California. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,
KNC

Nevermind

. I think i just found out about it on another post. I am going to pin it on their first molt. So my next question is ho long before I see more eggs. The Neighbors are getting antsy

So, they were all laying, then nothing for six days? Number of daylight hours and cooler days do have an impact. I was averaging around 10 eggs from 12 chickens until Saturday when we had only 4 eggs. Friday night was our first frost. I didn't expect such a quick decrease. I was supplementing 2 hours of daylight and have now bumped it up to 4 hours hoping that makes a difference.
