summer time not getting to many eggs

[nicolette]

I have 15 adult chickens 1 batch 2 yrs & another batch 1 yrs we are hitting high 90's to low hundred & getting 5- 7 eggs a day. Is there anyway to increase their egg laying in summer?

Unfortunately hot weather will generally cause them to slow down or even stop laying. It can help to keep lighter Mediterranean breeds in warmer climates because they can handle a bit more heat.

I'm having the same issue. We are in Central FL and my 1 yr old girls have stopped laying for a month now. I have added Quik Chik vitamin and electrolyte supplement to their water to boost them up. Murray McMurray Hatchery sells it.
Once we get to September, egg production should pick up. Good luck!
