Hi
Have you searched your garden for hidden nests? My white leghorn often makes garden nests. I hope this helps

My white leghorns have also slowed down with egg production. Mine are about 17 months old. I assumed it was the heat or the fact that I think some are molting. (I'm new at this)

Does The Heat Have anything To Do With It? I Live Over Here In Phoenix,Arizona and Summers We Go Up To 110 f or sometimes Hotter and Since It Has Been Hot all Week Here Maybe it Has Something To Do With It

Yes, extreme heat can certainly slow egg production, as well as other factors. See the thread above.

Yes you have to search pretty hard my biggest hen was completely concealed in a hidden nest. Try to find low-lying 'caves' in old rubble or shrubs. Maybe in another building such as a shed too. the heat is probably the case though. It is almost spring now and our leghorns are laying an egg a day.
