Zero Eggs!😫

[Unsworth]

I live in Michigan and it is really cold but my 21 hens are laying 19 -21 eggs a day. I give them 22% protein feed and daily treats since their yard is covered in snow and the ground is frozen solid. They are young (first year). I expected them to drop production during the winter but they didn't. I also give them oyster shell in a separate container. They have access to feed and oyster shell 24/7. They absolutely love sunflower meats I get at the feed store.

Everyone is definitely not still getting eggs , or at least reduced number! As above, there are various factors involved, especially this time of year. Some people even have to - gasp - buy eggs ...

I had to buy eggs this winter. One chicken just started laying again I have 4 chickens.

I have 5 hens, 3 red sex-linked and 2 black sex-linked. They're coming 4 years old now, I think. They stop laying in mid-Oct. and usually start again in mid-Feb. This year, they did start laying again in mid-Jan. (!!), but only for a week or two, and have stopped since. What could be causing that? I'm in Conn. I"m down to the last of their eggs, and really hate to do "the walk of shame" down the egg aisle at this point!
