Time between eggs?

[PoppiesChicks]

I have four hens newly laying. 2 weeks ago I got an egg every 3-4 days. Last week I think one hen laid a soft shelled agg and a hard shelled egg but I haven't had anything all week from anyone. Can newly laying hens just stop? I just let them outside into a new run. Can that cause them to stop? Or maybe a change in the weather? Last week we had temp close to 100 but this week it's a high of 60. Thanks!

Yes, new layers can stop. It takes some time for their bodies to adjust to the laying process. Have you looked in the run though, to make sure they aren't hiding them?

I doubt the weather has anything to do with it, we were 80 degrees 2 days ago and this morning we had snow. I still got the same amount of eggs as 2 days ago.
