Stopped laying

[Shadow722]

I have 13 hens and have been getting at least 8 eggs a day for a month. We got the chickens in July. It took a couple weeks aafter we bought and moved them to start laying. I have been feeding them Nutrena scratch grains and egg laying pellets. I left the 11th of August and my wife wound up with some corn feed after what I left in the other ran out. I came home on the 6th of September and they had quit laying eggs. Only getting 1 to 3 a day for about a week and today no eggs. I bought some more scratch grains and laying pellets yesterday. I didn't know if it was the food change or just the Oklahoma summer heat. Any ideas?

It is very likely a combination of the change in feed and the rapidly shortening day light hours.

Ours have stopped laying too. No change in food.

After nearly 2 weeks back on the Scratch Grains and Layer feed my hens are laying again but still not as much. I am getting 4 to 5 eggs a day.
