Henopause?

My two older girls PeeWee and Fuzztop have just stopped laying. They are not brooding like I htought, their combs and wattles are not pale at all. It has been hot but it was much, much hotter last summer and they gave me eggs all last summer even in triple digit weather. Poor things, those eggs were precious and much appreciated.  They have a better fan set up this year and the coop has stayed just a smidge below 90 if not at 90 between 3-5pm. I think that is pretty damn excellent.. They are not ill. So what is up?

PeeWee and Fuzztop have never looked better. I think the Verm-X and GMO free food has really made them look great. I would say they are at their very best right now.  But this is their third summer on earth and I think they are heading towards their change of life. I had to purchase eggs from the store for the first time in forever.  Egg production decreases after 2-3 years. Eggs or no eggs I still love them and have been babying them through this.

Astrud and Elvis will be laying soon enough. In the meantime, we buy organic, free range eggs from the store. They taste nothing like the ones from my own backyard but they are good enough to bake with.
